What is your point in filing the same request for the fifth time now?

If you disagree with your report being marked as a duplicate of another one, please argue in your original bug report while this should not be considered a duplicate, rather than filing repeated bugs. So, once again...

Michael, there is no need to file a new bug. You can go back into your original report (bug 444983) and add a comment in the "Additional Comments" box at the bottom why you think that it is different from bug 406643 (which is specific to plain-text composition) and therefore should not be considered a duplicate. Then your report could be reopened.

I've also noticed only later that the three duplicates to that bug actually were sequential, thus likely unintentionally caused by multiple commits, so this was a misunderstanding then. Please hit the Commit button only once and wait until the confirmation page appears to avoid repeated posts.
