User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:24.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/24.0 SeaMonkey/2.21 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20140324004515

Steps to reproduce:

I edited my blog, which I have been editing in Seamonkey Composer for well over a year.


Actual results:

Apparently at random, text colors was changed.  The text is normally in yellow/gold on a black background.  Random swatches of text were changed to black, according to the color icon in Composer...in other places the color was apparently changes to 'transparent'? according to the icon.  Not sure.  On a black background, whether black or transparent, text was invisible either way.  

This was not text I was working with, but already existing random text throughout the page.


Expected results:

Existing text should not have changed either way.  In past, copy and pasting text would show in the correct color without problem. 

For ease of maintaining formatting, I am in the habit of copying a single previous blog entry and pasting as the new entry, then highlighting the pasted text in Composer and replacing it with the new blog entry text, changing the target name, title, etc.

blog.html - The page being edited in Composer at time of error

This was the HTML I started with...in other words a backup made prior to editing today.

More or less REPRODUCIBLE with installation of unofficial (by wg9s) De SeaMonkey 2.53.4beta 1 pre Mozilla/5.0 (NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:60.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/60.0 Build 20200604210008 (Default Classic Theme, newly created User Profile) on German WIN7 64bit?

  1. open http://www.pkcarlisle.com/blog.html
  2. Menu ˋFile → Editˊ
    » Page opens in Composer
    After few moments all text behind "Articles and Blog"switches color from yellow to blue 😥

Additional info:

a) Because of " Bug 1648945 Freezes when try to open '<HTML source> tab for particular web page contents" I was not able to do additional research concerning source code in Composer.
b) I did an additional test with an arbitrary Wordpress blog page: no problem.
