Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 106028

(Thunderbird :: Message Reader UI, defect)

Description

[David Bourguignon]

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 four French words (two with a period, two without):

/Marche/
/Marche/.
/Marche./
/Marché/

I sent this email to myself...


Actual results:

In the email I received, the first two highlighted words were in italic, not the two last ones... (See screen capture in attachment.)


Expected results:

All four words should have been in italic. Thanks in advance for your help!

(See Bug 826281 for a related issue...)

This bug and bug 826281 should be bundled, probably this problem affects all of bold, italic, and underline.

[Thomas D. (:thomas8)]

some cases wfm, but other cases fail.
yet to find pattern.

/helló/ _helló_ *helló* _hello_ /hello/ *hello*
-> shows italics when received with TB, but from first word up to and including 5th word, which isn't right.

/helló/[eol]
-> does not show italics

I would expect bug 826281 and this to have the same cause
