(In reply to Neville Hillyer from [url=https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=203810#c41]comment #41[/url]) I don't know SeaMonkey, but I can confirm this is still an issue in Thunderbird 16.0.2 (latest version on the 'release update channel'). And I don't know how recent a build TB 18a2 is, but Mike Cloaked reports (in [url=https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=203810#c37]comment #37[/url] above) that it is still an issue for him.
As for a "single accurately described bug" I think this has enough related manifestations (e.g., Mike Cloaked comment #40) to make that a difficult precondition. My 'workaround' used to be to type a word (usually the person's name to whom I was writing), hit Enter, type my name on a new line(i.e., the last thing in the message) and then move up to the end of the first line, hit Enter again, and type (and edit) the body of my message. This workaround worked (i.e., preserved formatting) until v. 15 (I think... It is sometimes difficult to tell when something like this manifests, because, from all appearances, the message looks OK [I confess, I don't often check the formatting of the messages in my Sent folder]. I only began noticing it in certain replies from others that had included my message in the reply). -- 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.
