314748 - After replying a mail the compose window doesn't show the signature correctly when "spell as you type" is activated

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

Description

[Henrik Skupin [:whimboo][⌚️UTC+1]]

I saw this bug a while before the beta versions. Now it's still present. At work I've only version 1.5 Beta 2 (20051006).

To reproduce at least for windows do following steps.

* Assign a signature to the used identity
* Activate "spell as you type" within the preferences
* Start replying a message and close the compose window.
* Try to compose a new message

Result:
Only the last line of the signature is drawn. All others are invisible or have a white color on a white background. This also appears within the safe-mode. So it's not raised by an extension.

I set this to major because it's a highly visually UI bug which everyone will see after replying a message. And like I see is "spell as you type" activated by default.

unfortunately it's too late in the cycle for this. While bad, I wouldn't respin the release for this.

It also appears heavily in combination with Enigmail. When start sending the message a new dialog pops-up to enter the key phrase. At this point all text of the message is invisible except the underlining red wavy line.

I thin this was fixed on the trunk and branch by some spell check selection painting changes that brettw checked in last week. Anyone who sees this, care to recheck?

This was fixed by some changes brettw made on the trunk and the branch so I'm going to mark this as fixed now.
