Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 485638

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

Description

[David Mårtensson]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; sv-SE; rv:1.9.2.12) Gecko/20101026 Firefox/3.6.12 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)

If I select multiple ranges of text and then choose to change foreground color it stops changing color as soon as I have not selected the while line.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Paste the following text in a new mail window

Hello World
This is a test
to see if changing color works.
Bla bla bla
Jiddery Jiddery Jiddery
Nonsense nonsense

Now select with ctrl down the whole line "Hello World" and "Bla Bla Bla" and "Nonsens nonsens"

With these selected change color, all selected text changes color.

Undo changes or remove all formating then select the same BUT on the "Bla bla bla line only select the second word  "Bla *bla* bl" (star marked).

Now change color.
Actual Results:  
Both examples should change all selected text.

Expected Results:  
The second example only changes up to the last selected letter on a partly selected line "bla", every thing after that is left in original color.

Actual Results and Expected Results are mixed, but other than that this bug is reproducable... Every selection after an incomplete selected line is ignored.
