On Win 98/2k with a freshly installed Mozilla 0.9.6 (build 2001112009): New Composer Page. Type: http://www.mozilla.org
Shift-Home to select it. Control L to make it a link. By default, the selected text appears as the link location. (Nice!) Click OK. The text looks plain - with no blue or underlining. Yet the HTML source and the saved file does contain a link. With Normal or Preview mode, there is never any blue text or underline. But saving the file and re-opening it causes the blue text and underlining to appear. Likewise, type: blah blah blah select the second "blah" and use Control L and type in "http://www.mozilla.org"; and again, there is no underline or blue text. But the link is there in the source and the saved file. Going into HTML source and back to Normal or Preview again does not fix it. If in HTML source mode any change is made to the file at all, then on return to Normal or Preview mode, then the blue text and underlinging appears fine. Control Z makes the blue text and underlining go away. The easiest workaround for this seems to be going to HTML source mode, inserting a space and then deleting it - then returning to Normal mode. Using the Toolbar Link button and typing in "http://www.mozilla.org"; for Link Text and Link Location works fine. Likewise using Insert > Link or Control L without any text selected - and again typing in the Link Text and Link Location - works fine. If no-one tells me this is a bug, I will report it. I had been using 0.9.4 and had no such problems. I just dowloaded the most recent nightly build for Windows (2001112408) and it had the same problem. 0.9.5 (2001101117) does not have this problem. - Robin
