   Thank you. I suspected that or something similar.

   That bug comments that:   
       " Lots of people seem to be using Sea Monkey because of the Composer   
         HTML editor. However, not everyone seems to know the editor is   
         called Composer."   
   The content displayed when entering "composer" in the search box   
   displays sparse content.

   I thought of a possible workaround in the "HTML tab" by searching for a   
   nearby word/phrase to move the cursor. *HOWEVER* the search function   
   does not seem to be available in that tab ;{   
      
   However a re-read of "Inserting HTML Elements and Attributes" brought up   
   an idea of a workaround for that unworkable workaround:   
       1. In Composer's "Normal Tab", search for above word/phrase.   
       2. Move cursor to desired location.   
       3. In Composer's menu choose Insert->HTML.   
       4. Enter desired HTML and choose Insert.   
      
   KLUNKY, but works.
