353424 - HTML Options aren't used in reply when clicking in the message body

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 203810

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

Description

[Jeff Wickenheiser]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; InfoPath.1)
Build Identifier: Thunderbird 1.5.0.7

When replying to an email, and clicking elsewhere in the message composition window (such as putting the cursor in the original senders text), and then returning the cursor to the top of the message composition window, the font selected in HTML Options is not used, but instead the default font is used.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select a font and size in the Options -> Composition -> HTML Options window. I am selecting Helvitica, Arial with size small.
2. Click Reply to a message in the inbox.
3. Click in the Body of the message composition window somewhere in the reply. Then click at the top of the message composition window again to replace the cursor to where it started.
4. When typing, the font styles that should be used (Helvitica in my case) are not used, but instead the default is used (Times in this example).
Actual Results:  
The font was the default, instead of that selected in HTML Options.

Expected Results:  
The font should have been the one selected in HTML Options.
