Backspace and delete are not working until a character is entered (including enter)

#19

Hello,

I don't really know when this happened, because I've used your editor for a year now and never really noticed, but the backspace and delete keys are not working until a character is entered or a new line is created.

It looks like the culprit is Firefox (3.6.6) because it works fine with Safari and Chrome.

Have you heard about that ? Is it a bug of the design mode ?

Anyway, thank for your great and tiny editor.

Best regards,

Olivier Laviale

    I'll have to remember that for my stuff. If that fixes the backspace problem, that saves me some trouble, too.

    I put the following code after
    (Browser.Engine.trident) ? this.doc.body.contentEditable = true : this.doc.designMode = 'On';

        if (Browser.Engine.gecko) {
      // Backspace fix!
      this.doc.execCommand("inserthtml", false, "fill IFRAME with stuff");
    }

    It helped me!
