Thunderbird nested ordered numbers "bug".png
9.41 KB, image/png
Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:72.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/72.0

Steps to reproduce:

  1. open compose message window
  2. start ordered numbered list with the toolbar button
  3. typed out nested ordered number list in message

Actual results:

Got the following:

1. this
    1. is
    2. not
3. two??

Expected results:

Instead of:

1. this
    1. should
    2. be
2. two

User agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:68.0) Gecko/20100101 Thunderbird/68.6.0

I confirm this behavior. Please fix.

Hi all,

I can also confirm this behaviour on the same version. Saving the email as html reveals that the editor is creating the list thus in html:

<body>
  <ol>
    <li>this</li>
      <ol>
        <li>is</li>
        <li>not</li>
      </ol>
    <li>two??</li>
  </ol>
</body>

It seems the current version of Firefox consider this invalid and there is Bug 1548753 discussing this issue. (if the nested list is created within the previous <li> </li>, it will render it correctly - this was tested on Firefox browser "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:73.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/73.0").

Is this then an issue with how Firefox renders nested list or how Thunderbird is creating nested list?

Regards.

I copied the HTML to my web-hotel, and the code renders perfectly in Microsoft Edge Version 86.0.622.63 (64-bit), Google Chrome Version 86.0.4240.183 (64-bit). Even in Firefox 82.0.2 (64-bit) it renders correctly, but not in Thunderbird 78.4.1 (64-bit).

Please fix?

As it renders good in all browsers, it would be good to have it in order in Thunderbird too.

Severity: normal → S3

I was unable to reproduce this "bug."

I'm on Thunderbird 102 and this does seem to be fixed! Thank you whoever is responsible.
