1160880 - Selecting text & replying in plain text eats spaces in some situations

Status: NEW

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

Description

[dE]

Attachment: Majordomo results.eml

In the attached mail, if you select the "subscribe postfix-users [e-mail]" text and press shift+click on reply (for plain text reply), then in the compose window opened, the space between "postfix-users" and "[e-mail]" is gone.

Note that there is a duplicate report:

Reproducible with TB 42.0a1 (2015-08-09)

Possibly related to "Bug 1193153 - Copy paste steals multiple spaces (blanks)"

@reporter:
Does that problem also happen in an account where you use only plain text? with such a test we can find out whether this is a html-plain text problem or a general one.

Additional info:
a) Because of "Bug 684924 - Cannot drag and drop .eml file from Windows folder 
   into email client folder" I did  not test with SeaMonkey.

This reproduces in version 38?

This reproduces on TB 42 Earlybird, that I've just installed.

I'd check whether this was regressed on 10th April 2015, if so, it's a duplicate of bug 1174452.

I tried Daily version of 2015-04-09 and 2015-04-14 (build was busted in between).
Both versions are good. So this is therefore not related to bug 1193153 (comment #2) which is a duplicate of bug 1174452.

To answer Wayne's question from comment #5: TB 38.1 does not show the bug.

So we need to narrow down the regression. Mid-April to mid-August, 120 days, that's doable quickly.

Actually, works fine in my (old) Earlybird 41, so that narrows it down more. Will bisect.

Comment 9

[Jorg K (CEST = GMT+2)]

Please ignore the previous three comments. They are mostly wrong.

I've been such a fool when testing it: You need to <SHIFT> reply!!

I've tried the oldest TB I have installed here, 3.1.
This shows the bug. So it's really noting new at all here.

No idea why my bug 1167926 was duped to this, as the STR are different and the bug isn't showing in the Compose-window, but only in the sent mail.

Will retest again later with a more recent version.

Maybe a good decision, maybe not. I undid the duplication for now, since the other bug is "dataloss".

To bug opener:
Comment #0 is phenomeno in which Thunderbird version?
Note: Version: field of initil 31 was changed to 3.1 by [e-mail] on 2015-08-11. (See History of this bug)

38.1.0 as of the current time.
