776883 - Body text moved below signature when changing identity

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

Description

[John Veness]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:14.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/14.0.1
Build ID: 20120713134347

Steps to reproduce:

I have the following Account Settings:
- Automatically quote the message when replying
- Then, start my reply above the quote
- and place my signature below my reply (above the quote)

I have multiple identities, each with the above settings, and each with a signature. I use plain text composition.

I press Reply to a message in my inbox. In the compose window, I typed some body text above my signature and above the quoted message. I then changed the identity to a different identity.




Actual results:

The body text that I entered moved to below the signature, above the quoted message.


Expected results:

The body text should have stayed where it is.

This bug is still present in Thunderbird 15.

This bug is still present in Thunderbird 17. I hope it can be fixed soon. It's similar to bug 765673 which was fixed quickly.

This bug is still present in Thunderbird 24.2.0.

Does this still reproduce?

Hi, I no longer can reproduce this in 128.4.3 so it must have been fixed in the last decade :). I can't say when, as I log ago moved away from a job where I regularly switched between several identities with different sigs, and no longer have access to the specific Thunderbird profile which exhibited the problem in the first place. In any case, thanks to whoever fixed this and thanks for Thunderbird in general :)

I have about 5 accounts and two use signatures. I too have the same setup as the OP and it works properly when I reply to a user. Signature is above the quoted text and my reply is always above my signature.
