1416309 - Composition: sometimes the font in a new email overrides user settings

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

Description

[najoll]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; Win64; x64; rv:56.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/56.0
Build ID: 20171024165158

Steps to reproduce:

I started a new e-mail and - I am unsure whether this makes a difference - clicked rather quickly within the new, blank body of the e-mail.


Actual results:

The displayed text size was small - smaller than usual and indeed too small.


Expected results:

The text size should have been the normal size, i.e. the size I have told it to be.

This is a problem with Thunderbird's editor. I've been told there are problems with doing any work on the editor. Still, the problem makes it difficult to write e-mails, or at least e-mails that one can be sure will be easily readable upon receipt. So, the developers may not wish to 'start from here', but this is where they are, and it is, as I aver, a serious problem. There are some other entries on the bugtracker, some by me, which pertain to similar - but perhaps not identical - problems.
