When in the editor while using the redesign beta, clicking into source mode produces source text which is made somewhat hard to read because it's bold.

Looking at the computed style for the source text, you find that the font-weight is 700 rather than 400 (normal). The smallish Courier rendered bold loses definition.

The culprit is this (line 1644- in mdn.css):

input[type=email],input[type=password],input[type=search],input[type=text],input[type=url],textarea {
 color:#4c4c4c;
 background:#fff;
 border:2px solid #9b9b9b;
 padding:6px 8px;
 font-weight:700
}

At least in edit mode, the textareas shouldn't be made 700 weight.
Decreased font weight of all textareas.
