You can find a temporary copy (unclean source) at http://www.b-a-l-u.de/Playground/tmpedit/
The problem I experience seems to be related to newlines in the file empty.html the edit-iFrame get's loaded with at the beginning.
If you load the page, switch to source view and try to add some content
at the end (or in one of the table cells or similar) the typed
chars are added a few characters to the left of the cursor.
Removing the newlines from the empty.html avoids this problem.
But is this a bug or a feature? What else might cause this? Is the only method to avoid this problem the removal of the newlines?

Hello Balu,
In one respect you could consider this a bug, however in another an asset. In your case it's a minor bug where you have content within a HTML tag, in the case where the author leaves table cells empty it becomes an asset. The <BR> tag places something of value inside an otherwise empty set of HTML tags.
The only way to remove the extra <BR> tags is to use an external editor, Mozilla Composer will usually reinsert those tags in empty HTML tag set when you open the source editor and close the editor. However, if you use an external editor and remove the excess <BR> tags, even leaving HTML tag sets empty, Composer will not refill the <BR> tags when in Compose mode, only when the source editor is closed.
