There are serious bugs in the text editing window in mail composition.  In this
one, parts of the text aren't displayed correctly and parts of the text become
white incorrectly.

NOTE:  This is the "last night's build" downloaded today, and happened in
previous 1.4 versions too.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Save the attached html.
2. Open the file with composer
3. Press CTRL-A in the composer, highlighting everything.
4. Press CTRL-C to copy it all.
5. Open a new e-mail message.
6. Press CTRL-A in the message window to highlight anything there (signature etc).
7. Press CTRL-V to paste in the new contents.
8. Position the text cursor at the end of the last text line, right after the i
in this line:  The default one in BES i
9. Press enter twice

Actual Results:  
Parts of the text vanish, but if you highlight them they reappear.

Expected Results:  
The editor should have acted sensibly.
