1896252 - «Convert to table» pop-up dialog displays text in weird manner

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

Description

[Camaleon]

Attachment: BAD_POP-UP_TEXT_FORMAT.png

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:125.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/125.0

Steps to reproduce:

1. Compose new mail
2. Type some text on message body
3. Select the text
4. Go to menu Format → Create table from selection

Actual results:

I get a pop-up window with weird formatted text (see image), something like:

«Composer
creates
a
new
raw
in
the
table
...»

Also, the window size is quite weird.

Expected results:

The explanation/informative text should render as usual:
«Composer creates a new row in the table...»

If the «one word per row/line format» is intended to be self-explanatory, in the end the resulting window size and text format, well, it looks a bit weird and something to reconsider :-)
