When replying to a message, each time i start typing text, the font color of the
text i type is set to white. No text therefore is visible. When selecting my
text, and setting color to black, the text appears.

Does not occur when composing a new message. Perhaps something in my
UserContent.css?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. click reply on a message in your inbox
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
white text when typing

Expected Results:  
black text.

I'm using the following UserContent.css

/* 
 * BEGIN - Quote Levels Colors
 */

blockquote[type=cite] {
color: navy ! important;
}
blockquote[type=cite] blockquote {
color: maroon ! important;
}
blockquote[type=cite] blockquote blockquote {
color: green ! important;
}
blockquote[type=cite] blockquote blockquote blockquote {
color: purple ! important;
}
blockquote[type=cite] blockquote blockquote blockquote blockquote {
color: teal ! important;
}

/* 
 * END - Quote Levels Colors
 */

.moz-txt-sig, .moz-signature {
color: #E4941B !important;
}
.moz-txt-sig > a, .moz-signature > a {
color: #E4941B !important;
}

I take back the "reproducibility always"

It was 2 out of 2, now it's 2 out of 3....
Hmm... i'm afraid this is an annoying "reproducible sometimes" freak bug

Does the message you are replying to have white text?

Patrick, is this bug still a problem for you?  Have you tried using a later 
version of Mozilla (1.3 or 1.4b)?

If it is still a problem with a current version -- are you composing plain-text 
or HTML mail?

don't know WHAT fixed it or why, but can't reproduce it on this machine anymore.
Marking WFM for now
