NOW however, control-K, when used in the same context, only works the first two times you use it in succession, after which it just stops working, at least until you use some other means to move the Mozilla text cursor around (to some other place). This problem makes the task of trying to post a follow-up to some USENET news article via groups.google.com (while properly trimming superfluous/irrelevant original material) VERY difficult. >How-To-Repeat: Go to www.google.com and then go to "groups". Then try to post a follow-up to some existing USENET news article containing many lines of text. When composing your response. Try using control-K to delete 3 or more lines of original text in succession. After deleting two lines in succession, control-K will simply cease to have any further effect. >Fix: Beats me! I don't hack Mozilla unless I have to, and sometimes not even then. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
