Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: Composer, defect)

Description

[Ben Slade]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8a6) Gecko/20050111
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8a6) Gecko/20050111

On Mac OS X 10.3.7 w/Moz 1.8a6, when I edit any HTML document, when I single
click on an HTML tag in the body (eg. H1, H2, .., paragraph, address, etc), the
drop-down list in the Format toolbar does not update to say what the HTML tag
type is for the current cursor position.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open an HTML doc in Moz'a Composer
2.Create some <H1> text on line 1, then create some <H2> text on line 2, the
drop-down list in the Format toolbar will now say "Heading 2"
3.Single click in the middle of the <H1> text, the drop-down list in the Format
toolbar will remain unchanged (should say "Heading 1")
Actual Results:  
The drop-down list in the Format toolbar will say "Heading 2"

Expected Results:  
The drop-down list in the Format toolbar should have said "Heading 1"

This bug makes it somewhere more difficult to edit HTML since I know have to go
the "HTML Tags" view of the document to find what tag is actually there.

I see this bug also on Windows XP (Mozilla 1.8a6)

One more note, while in the HTML Composer there are indications at the bottom of
the screen of what HTML blocks/tags are currently in effect, the Email Compose
screen does not have this indication.   

The lack of the HTML block/tag info for the Email Compose screen makes this bug
report more serious in that situation.

This problem recreates for me on Windows XP (5.1.2600 Service Pack 2 Build 2600)
with Mozilla 1.8a6 (Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8a6)
Gecko/20050111).  I'm therefore changing the Op Sys and Platform for this bug to
"all"

The bug is still present in Mozilla 1.8b on Windows XP, affecting both the HTML
Composer and the E-Mail compose window in HTML mode.
