Is this related to bug 250539 at all? (If they're the same bug, feel free to mark this bug a duplicate of that one.)

I switched to another distro (gentoo) and I can't reproduce my own bug (with the same build, same binaries in my home).
Perhaps my issue was related to the distro with mozilla's build.

But I can reproduce the #250539 bug with the mozilla's build and gentoo's build.

If nobody can reproduce my bug, so we can close it

I can reproduce this bug in Thunderbird version 3.0.3. I have signature via textfile configured. I've set my composing option to font "Hevetica, Arial", (small).

After I create a new Mail, wrote several lines and press key "END" the style is lost, but it should remain. This is really annoing.

damador, is your problem described accurately by bug 250539? If so, we can close this as a duplicate, I think. (Or perhaps a WFM per comment #3.)

Yes it is descibed in bug 250539. Since some days I can't reproduce the bug. So I think it has been fixed in one of the last updates?
