Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox

I search for a peace of following code:

#include "tutorial.h"
#include <CGAL/Point_2.h>
#include <CGAL/predicates_on_points_2.h>
#include <iostream>

int main() {
    Point p( 1.0, 0.0);
    Point q( 1.3, 1.7);
    Point r( 2.2, 6.8);
    switch ( CGAL::orientation( p, q, r)) {
 case CGAL::LEFTTURN: std::cout << "Left turn.\n"; break;
 case CGAL::RIGHTTURN: std::cout << "Right turn.\n"; break;
 case CGAL::COLLINEAR: std::cout << "Collinear.\n"; break;
    }
    return 0;
}

Don't know the exactly expression. Then I wanted to start a new search - but I have to delete
all fields in the search above (in the small google seach window). THIS IS VERY AWFUL:
IT DOESNT DELETE ALL CONTENTS, BECAUSE OF LINE BREAKS.
In the next seaches the not deleted contents where appended in the search.
I just fixed it with deleting the content in the following - firstly invisible - lines.

Hope that helps anyway - I LOVE FIREFOX ON MY LINUX!

This happens in every version of Firefox, regardless of linux.

There is a nice way to turn this off, though.

Not exactly sure if you want to call it case closed, getting rid of line break problem could be helpful. However, please submit to Mozilla, this is a feature correction.
