Description

Attachment: bug.png

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:17.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/17.0
Build ID: 20121128204232

Steps to reproduce:

I wrote in an email two French words:

*Marche*

*Marché*

I sent this email to myself...


Actual results:

In the email I received, the first highlighted word was in bold, not the second one... (See screen capture in attachment.)


Expected results:

Both words should have been in bold. Thanks in advance for your help!

"Pairs" game (aka "Concentration") with 52 cards is nothing against playing this on BMO - find the match out of 10,000+ issues!

Rules:
1. Pick a random bug report newer than 2010.
2. Find the dupe. 
3. Satisfaction guaranteed. An estimated 80% of bugs come with a matching pair from the archives. The remainder is either support requests, odd configurations, or regressions.

And, if you play a bit longer and follow the threads, hit the jackpot as some of us tend to hide these problems under technical summaries that nobody can find without guru knowledge, resulting in dozens of duplicates:
