64436 - Inserting hyperlink does not show any visual indication of that action

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 108196

(MailNews Core :: Composition, defect)

Description

[racham]

Steps to reproduce :

1. open the mail application.
2. click on New Msg button. You get the compose window.
3. type some text in the body. Select a word say 'foo'.
4. Go Format->Insert Link and provide a url as hyperlink.
5. Click OK.
6. Word 'foo' neither changes to blue in clor nor has any underline associated.

Note : If you select that word again and do Format->Insert Link, you will find
the url that you typed. So, it is just that word that is hyperlinked is not
shown visually that it is in such a state.
