776883 - Body text moved below signature when changing identity

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(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 17. I hope it can be fixed soon. It's similar to bug 765673 which was fixed quickly.
