Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 345555

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

Description

[P. Andries]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; fr; rv:1.8.0.4) Gecko/20060508 Firefox/1.5.0.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; fr; rv:1.8.0.4) Gecko/20060508 Firefox/1.5.0.4

Compare the Tifinagh composed on Mac OS X :

and what displayed when received and read in Thunderbid 1.5.0.4 under Windows XP SP 2...

Note how ligatures are not handled in the composition window on the Mac OS X but are properly display on Windows (and relatively well with Firefox under Windows incidentally : http://familleandries.iquebec.com/tifinar/re%e7u-tifinar-de-mac-oiseau-de-feu.png )


The corresponding HTML is here :

This seems really like a bad bug, I was surprized this failed, I looked briefly in the Bugzilla DB but I could not find this reported. (But I'n not really used to Bugzilla).

This is really the same bug as the one you reported on Firefox (It's a core bug that affects all products)
