322857 - Default composition font lost when a bullet item is added

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 250539

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

Description

[Antonio Freixas]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051111 Firefox/1.5

If your default composition font is Verdana, it will revert to Variable Width when a bullet item is added

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set default font to Verdana.
2. Begin composing a new message by adding some text.
3. Press the "bulleted list" button
4. Enter the bullet text

Actual Results:  
The initial text is in Verdana. The bullet text and all text after that (inside our outside the bullet) is Variable Width.

Expected Results:  
All text should be Verdana until an explicit change is made.

This is the HTML generated when I follow the above directions. Note that Verdana is not really the default font--it is just a font set with the <font> tag. Without this tag, the real default is still Variable Width.

<font face="Verdana">Some text.<br>
</font>
<ul>
  <li>Some bulleted text</li>
</ul>
