Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

Description

[Andrei Boros]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:18.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/18.0
Build ID: 20130201065344

Steps to reproduce:

When composing a new mail in HTML format, one has a formatting toolbar, for text processing. Like font face, size, bold, italic, etc. 


Actual results:

Suppose I write some text and for a selection I change the font face. Or just the preset from variable to fixed. 

The toolbar continues to show "fixed width" even when my cursor or selection covers variable witdth text. In fact it remains the same until I click on it. 

The bold/italic, etc buttons update according to the properties of the text under cursor, as they should, but not the font face.


Expected results:

Font face toolbar item should update according to properties of text under cursor. 
If text is selected and text has one single font face property, this toolbar item should show that property.
If text is selected and text has multiple font face property, this toolbar should show "empty", just like any word processor software.
