Confirmed, though this is a useragent issue, so Invalid.


In SeaMonkey 2.0, when selling an item, in the description box ('Describe the item you're selling') you are simply shown an empty text box into which to type your description.

Spoofing your useragent, adding 'Firefox/3.6' to the UA string, & you'll have full editing controls; font, size, colors, bold, underline, spell check ...

This issue does not exist in SeaMonkey 2.1 (as it already includes "Firefox" in the UA).
