544784 - Email Composition: editing text causes font change after the edit is complete

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 250539

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[Linda D]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.7) Gecko/20091221 Firefox/3.5.7 GTB6
Build Identifier: Thunderbird 3.0.1








Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Type a short paragraph in Composition
2.  Move the cursor into the typed text, make a modification or add text
3.  Move cursor back to end of paragraph:  type new text -- font reverts to something other than my preset preferences [happens every time; same default every time]
Actual Results:  

I saved a screen print; unfortunately it will not paste here.  Please provide an email address, and I will forward this example.



Expected Results:  
Same original font maintained throughout the email, whether editing occurs or not.

The software should have picked right up with the same font after editing/insertions/deletions occur in previous text.  The fix:  I have to highlight the affected "different font" text, and select the A with the up arrow to make the text larger again, and in a bolder font -- to match the previously entered text.
