Bug Description

Enter editor (open new message or reply to message)
Move to middle of a line
Press up arrow
Cursor jumps to start or end of line line above
Further up and down arrows remain at the start or end

Same behaviour with down arrow

This has been the case for me ever since upgrading from Breezy to Dapper (I am now on Edgy and running 1.5.0.7).

Googling has revealed at least one other user with the same behaviour, but no solution.
