OK I did a test which seems to throw up the inconsistent font issue is a totally reproducible way - and the test is very simple indeed. I am using version 18a2 linux 64 bit version from 4th November but this test can be applied to any version that other testers following this bug can also try.
The test is as follows: 1) Click "Write" to begin composing a new mail. My default font is set as medium, and sans-serif. 2) Now type direct into the main text box "This is a test " - 3) Now highlight the text you have just entered with the mouse and right click and copy. 4) With the cursor set at just after the last space in the text entered now right click and select "Paste without Formatting" The result is that the two phrases which should be identical are now of different font size. I will attach a screenshot in a sec showing the two different fonts in this text as highlighted. -- 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.
