Status: NEW

(SeaMonkey :: Composer, defect)

Description

[mapson12]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:18.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/18.0 SeaMonkey/2.15
Build ID: 20130105222032

Steps to reproduce:

Composer settings:
- Use CSS styles
- Pressing return creates new paragraph

Open the inline style editor on an element and set margin = 1em. 
Close and open the inline style editor again.


Actual results:

The property margin got transformed into some internal representation. Clicking OK now will remove the left and right value for the margin property.


Expected results:

Properties entered in the dialog should not change.

The same is true for border and padding.

Same as for other your bug, provide full steps to reproduce (1) Open blank Composer page, 2) Press Return, 3) Open ... menu item from ... menu, etc)

1. Open blank Composer page
2. Make sure that in the settings "Composer / Use CSS-styles instead of HTML Elements" is set.
3. type some text
4. click on the format dropdown in the toolbar and select "paragraph"
5. click on the "indent text (move right)" symbol in the toolbar (paragraph is now indented)
6. open advanced properties of the paragraph (rightclick on "p" in the element bar at the bottom, select "advanced properties"
7. click OK.

-> paragraph is not indented any more, the style attribute contains the following:

margin-left-value: 40px; 
margin-left-ltr-source: physical;
margin-left-rtl-source: physical;

To summarize the problem: when the advanced property dialog is opened and saved, it destroys css-properties margin, border, and padding.

This happens also when the "use css properties" property is not set.
