285089 - compose window does not wrap properly when using a non-fixed with font as monotype font

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 227186

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

Description

[Petter Skjelsbæk]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050223 Firefox/1.0.1
Build Identifier: Thunderbird 1.0 version 1.0 (20041206) english version

When you use a non-fixed with font (like lucida sans, arial, times etc.) as
'monotype' the text does not wrap properly in the compose window when writing a
plain text message.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.set font 'monotype' to something else than 'courier' (eg. arial)
2.write a plain text message


Actual Results:  
the text does not wrap at 72 char. but at 144. really enoying.

Expected Results:  
I should have been able to wrap plain text messages at 72 char. regardless of
the fonttype.

I like to use plain text for composition&display, but in the font I like (Book
Antiqua). Unfortunately, when composing a message, it is not wrapped properly
(at 72 characters) but at something like 130 characters. When applying a
"re-wrap" this is corrected. When going back to a normal monospace font, I do
not have this problem anymore
