736551 - signature format broken (new-lines removed) during message edit

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 703086

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

Description

[John Perkins]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:10.0.2) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/10.0.2
Build ID: 20120222142406

Steps to reproduce:

1. Enter a multi-line signature via Tools -> Account Settings
2. Compose a new message.  One blank line should be present, followed by signature separator "--"
3.  Put cursor at the beginning of the "--" line
4.  Press Backspace

This was done on a 64-bit Windows 7 computer, Thunderbird 11.0.  Problem existed in 10.X releases, too.





Actual results:

Signature was formatted from multiple lines to only one line


Expected results:

Signature format should have remained intact  as multiple-lines

Works for me. When I press backspace the signature is still multi-line.

i confirm, this appens only in html compose
under XP-sp3 and thunderbird 13.0.1

if pressing backspace before the "--" on the beginning of this line

the signature bloc lost his "signature format" and become like a part of the normal texte
