I would rather see a simpler totally different approach adopted by the designers:
Always use the defined font style (this would be the default font style until changed by the tool-bar) irrespective of cursor position or history. I think most editors do this. It would have the disadvantage that any text added to the middle of a paragraph would use the current font style rather than that of the paragraph but it would be immediately visible and easy to correct especially if a 'change current style to that of highlighted text' control were provided. Some thought would have to be given to copy/pasted styled text - perhaps provide a user option to use current style or retail original style. -- 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.
