Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox

1) The release of Ubuntu I am using: Gutsy 7.10
2) The version of Firefox I am using: 2.0.0.13
3) What I expected to happen:
Line breaks in attribute values in XHTML source code should be converted to spaces.
4) What happened instead:
Line breaks in attribute values are not converted to spaces. This leads e.g. to a text input control containing more than one line of text.

So this is about <input type="text" ..> elements?

A text input control is defined with INPUT tag where its TYPE attribute is TEXT.
When its VALUE attribute contains several lines (which is allowed),
Firefox renders the control as containing multiple lines (which is not allowed and very misleading).
You can see the consecutive lines using the left cursor key.
