341948 - can only underline once in message compose window

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

Description

[sas]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.4) Gecko/20060508 Firefox/1.5.0.4
Build Identifier: version 1.0.6 (20050716)

I continue to use this older version because the "contacts add bcc button" extension is not available for v.1.5.x.  The bug is that if I underline a word or phrase somewhere in the message compose window, and I try to underline another word or phrase later in the message, the cursor moves back to the original underlined text and refuses to allow underlining to be placed anywhere else in the message.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Open compose message window
2.  begin typing text, underlining any one word or phrase in what you type <ctrl-u>
3.  turn off the underlining and continue typing
4.  a few lines later, hit <ctrl-u> to underline and start typing -- the cursor has returned to the end of that previous underline and cannot be forced in any way to underline text later in the message.

Actual Results:  
". . .  ignored the demands of ourabove citizens . . . " ["ourabove" was underlined in original text]

Expected Results:  
". . . ignored the demands of our[underlined] citizens . . . of them flying their flag above[should have been underlined] ours . . ."

The workaround is to type without underlining and then go back and block out each portion of the text and underline each separately.

Thank you.

PS:  Do you know if the "bcc" extension will be updated at any time to be compatible with the newer versions of Thunderbird so I can upgrade?

I'm not able to reproduce this with TB 1.0.6, Win2K.
Do you get the same symptom if you run without the extension installed (i.e. 
run TB in Safe Mode)?
