Steps to reproduce:

Steps to recreate.

1.  Have 2 accounts set up.  Each with different html signatures.
2.  Reply to a message
3.  Change from one account to the other.




Actual results:

If you experience what I do the signature will become indented, as if it was part of the message you are replying to.


Expected results:

The message should appear the same for both accounts.

I will attach pictures to demo.

Image "Demo 1.png" - Me replying to a message.  All looks good.
Image "Demo 2.png" - Account switched to different account.  Something is wrong here.
Image "Demo 3.png" - This is what I believe the signature should look like when switching between accounts.

I just realized right now the the issue extends farther.  If you switch back and forth between accounts it duplicates the signature over and over.  I believe I saw a ticket describing this issue in the list of tickets that displayed when I started this.

Here it is --> https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=566825

It said the issue was resolved but apparently it is not.  I tested in safe mode and was still able to duplicate.

I appreciate any feedback and am happy to help if you cant duplicate the issue.  Thanks.

That part is basically bug 218346 which deals with the lack of a signature separator for identifying the signature block, but doesn't apply to the shown examples. However, there is also old bug 43829 on HTML signatures not being removed, which matches to some extent the symptoms you describe.

Do you see this in HTML composition only or also when composing in plain text?

I only tested HTML which is what I was using when I noticed it.
