This WFM on Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9.2.5pre) Gecko/20100415 Lanikai/3.1b2pre.

Have you tried safe mode? (see https://support.mozillamessaging.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode for more information)

Comment 5

[John Vivirito]

I'm fairly sure i did but i will make sure.

Comment 6

[John Vivirito]

running in safe mode does not change this bug

Comment 7

[John Vivirito]

This bug is also causing the reply to not be highlighted/colored

Even if I use reply on top.... the text isn't highlighted but not sure if it should be another bug or not but I'm thinking they are caused by same reason

This seems to have been a profile bug but it did take a reinstall of the system or even moving the ~/.thunderbird dir out of $HOME
