Yes, I agree that your observation can help users work around the bug in many cases.
But there seemed to be an implication in some comments that "default font" had a rather limited meaning, and that the program was therefore working per design. I'll grant that I may have misinterpreted to arrive at that, but since the bug is 9 1/2 years old, one has to wonder if the development team isn't aware that this is not only maddening but an actual show-stopper for a number of users, or if they are aware and simply disagree with that assessment. In any case, voting to bump up the Importance to something above Normal is one of the things non-developers can do to try to get some qualified attention directed at this. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to thunderbird in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/584632 Title: composer changes font mid email Status in Mozilla Thunderbird Mail and News: Confirmed Status in “thunderbird” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: thunderbird As I'm typing my emails in Thunderbird, I can see what appears to be a font size change on screen, normally in the second line of text. The second line appear smaller than the first. It's barely perceptible, so half them time I think I am imagining it. Well, I've started Bccing to myself to check, and the emails I am receiving from myself are not only a different size, they're also a different font. Composer starts in some default serif, and by the second line is sans. I'd bee glad to email someone viz thunderbird, and also send along a screenshot of how it looks while I am typing. Thanks.
