123781 - Asterisks ("*") used to mark bold text don't work when phrase is wrapped (over a newline)

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 5351

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[Russell Odom]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:0.9.7) Gecko/20011221
BuildID:    2001122106

Viewing a plain-text message which has asterisks for emphasis of certain
words/phrases. Mozilla marks these up in bold, except then the phrase is wrapped
in the incoming message.

I'll attach a screenshot

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. View a plain text message which contains phrases marked with asterisks.
2. Note that where a phrase is wrapped onto a new line, it isn't bold.

Actual Results:  Word/phrase does not appear in bold when it contains a newline

Expected Results:  Should be bold

Attachment: Screenshot showing problem

This screenshot shows the problem - the text circled in green is the correct
behaviour, but the text circled in red should also be bold.

Is this due to the line break at the end of the line, that 'breaks' the span
perhaps?

[Russell Odom]

Assuming the "linkifying code" which is the subject of bug 5351 also handles
bold rendering, etc., verified that this is a duplicate. If not, please reopen.
