Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en) AppleWebKit/416.11 (KHTML, like Gecko) Safari/416.12

If Thunderbird flags a snippet of text as a typo, then any text entered within the snippet will be underlined in red and not wordwrap.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enter snippet "Mozillatypo. " into the composer window. Press the left arrow.
2. Observe the snippet has a solid and a wavy red underline.
3. Place cursor between "Mozilla" and "typo"
4. Enter phrase " Thunderbird is my favorite email client but unfortunately it won't word wrap when I enter text inside a snippet that had a "

Actual Results:  
Compose window contains "Mozilla Thunderbird is my favorite email client but unfortunately it won't word wrap when I enter text inside a snippet that had a typo." -- everything has a wavy red underline and the text doesn't wrap.

Expected Results:  
Text should be wrapped. There should be no underline since there are no spelling errors.

There may well be less convoluted ways of reproducing this behavior. I find it happens to me frequently. The only way to resolve the issue is to save the message, close it, and re-open. (What's up with solid vs. wavy red underlines anyway?)

Sorry, please ignore. Had conflicting spell-check extension installed.
