I installed TB 45a2 and while composing a new message, I noticed that pressing the ENTER key will create a blank line (see screenshot) because the combobox says "Paragraph" instead of "Body Text".

Aryx on IRC told me it was a new feature by JorgK.

Anyway, Paenglab told me to go to Options > Compose and untick the checkbox:
[15:24] <Paenglab> marcoagpinto: It's a feature. You can disable it in Options > Compose > "When using paragraph format, the enter key creates a new paragraph"

I went there and it was already unticked.

So, is it a bug?
Marco, can you check in about:config if 'editor.CR_creates_new_p' is on true or false? Then try to reset it, what is the state of the checkbox?

You mean "ticket". The option is selected (ticked) by default. Magnus decided that in bug 330891 comment #70.

I've been using Earlybird 45 from day one and I'm using the new feature. It takes a bit of getting used to, since the "double<enter>" is already engrained in people's minds. But I think the feature is useful and promotes better formatting. If you don't like it, switch if off.

BTW: It's a feature users have been requesting since 2006.

Guys, JoeS explained to me how to delete the whole TB files:
[16:26] <JoeS> in win10..<user name>AppData Roaming  find the thunderbird folder and delete it, but then you must set up from scratch, mail accounts etc (BTW don't you do this every time you smoketest ??)

Because I already had installed alphas, betas and release candidates and it was a mess.

I have just tried a really clean install of TB 45a2 and the checkbox is ticked.

I just noticed that it took several seconds to open the options windows in my 10,1'' Atom netbook... is this normal?
In my comment #2: s/ticket/ticked/ ;-(

The default is "ticked". When ticked, a new composition starts with paragraph format. All is well.

Also, the options window is always quite slow.
