Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

Steps to reproduce:

Tried to format a paragraph with a different color.


Actual results:

Compose a message, write some paragraphs, then select a paragraph of text and try to change the color of it. After clicked on the 'Choose color for text', a color choose dialog appears, select a color from the arrays of colors, but the field 'HTML color string' is OBSCURED by the tool-tip text 'Choose color for text'. If you then move the entire window to one side, by click, hold and drag the color chooser window, then you'll notice that this 'tool-tip text' belongs to the controller where you entered the function (ie. the button to 'choose color for text'). The tool text should have been 'turned off' but it's not. It stayed there until you turn off the color choose dialog by pressing on OK or Cancel. It's not a bug but a nasty surprise.


Expected results:

The tool tip text 'Choose color for text' should have turned off when the dialog is displayed.
