Wrong initial cursor position in Firefox

[jsmitjans]

Im using the plugin to send messages with a textarea. Pressing enter the message is sent and the editor is cleaned. My problem is that it always generates some "br" tags and I don't know how to remove them or how to put the cursor in the initial position .

https://jsfiddle.net/ovj6dy1n/ This is the link.Please note that when you type something and press enter the cursor goes down one line. I think if you press enter without having previously pressed the shift key, the cursor remains on the same line.

event.preventDefault(); fixes this behavior https://jsfiddle.net/mervick/b8oju234/1/

That worked!!The other thing I found is that if you remove the placeholder option the initial cursor position is outside the text box

Here is the link. https://jsfiddle.net/e408uqgv/. When the text box is clicked the initial cursor position is outside it

It's ok on my browser

I've seen this before on either Firefox or IE, I cant remember which.

I worked around it by setting an empty placeholder
