quicktext: [[CURSOR]] tag not working in HTML mode

The following template code fails setting the cursor to the wanted position.

<p>Dear [[TO=fullname]],</p>
<p>[[CURSOR]]</p>
<p>Best regards<br>
John Sample<p>

Instead it produces:

Dear John Sample,

[[CURSOR]]

Best regards John Sample

The error message in the debug console is:

Argument 1 of Range.setStart is not an object. quicktext.js:550
    insertBody chrome://quicktext/content/quicktext.js:550
    insertTemplate chrome://quicktext/content/quicktext.js:359
    editorKeyPress chrome://quicktext/content/quicktext.js:797
    load chrome://quicktext/content/quicktext.js:48

Can you help? 😃

I was able to reproduce it and I may have fixed it (that cursor code is one large black box with ancient code from Emil).

quicktext_pre.xpi

@Nerd2k : Can you verify? Remove your current version of quicktext, restart TB, close AddOnManger, reopen AddOnManager and install this version via the gear menu in the AddOnManager. You cannot just install it over the current installed version.

@Nerd2k @SamuelPlentz

Is any of you able to verify, if the [[CURSOR]] tag still works on linux with this version?
