I did however see some anomalies with extra br tags being applied, and one case of a missing ending font tag. But these are a small price to pay for the basic fix. I'll test extensively with various fonts and html tag insertions over the coming days. But so far, it looks very encouraging.

(some of these results probably should go into bug 590640) but as they pertain to this bug, the issue where the cursor was positioned outside of the font tag has been fixed somewhere between the ESR and our current Beta TB13 (bug number?) Testing steps Type in:The quick brown fox Go back to "brown" and correct it to "red" reposition the cursor (with mouse) just after "fox" Type in:" jumped." Here is the resulting code generated: ESR: The quick red fox jumped. beta tb13 The quick red fox jumped. current trunk The quick red fox jumped. The ESR behavior is obviously wrong TB13 is correct Current trunk displays the correct font, but adds extra font tags in the process I suppose this is a result of the fix in bug 590640 "remembering" the type in state.

Still present TB 3.1.9 (Ubuntu 12.04 LTS). When I compose a Mail. the font-size and font-type keeps changig. Every few lines I have to manually mark my text and change font-size/type myself. Very annoying. Additionally, when I copy-paste some text (e.g. a URL from my browser address bar) this text gets some formatting.

Launch app - set to reply above quoted text (default for commercial builds) 2. Change your mailnews preference for composition to another font style. 3.

[Bug 584632] Re: composer changes font mid email
I had this same problem and it drove me nuts. My problem is that when I reply to an existing email, the font will be "Helvetica, Arial". This is what's listed when I go to Edit --> Preferences --> Composition --> General --> HTML --> Font. But if I click away from the body of the email, even if I click to another part of the composition window such as the subject box, as soon as I click back to the body, the font will change to some kind of serif font. It says "Variable Width" in the font box. I think it's whatever font is listed in Edit --> Preferences --> Display --> Formatting --> Fonts --> Default font. My configuration says the default font is "serif." If I type a completely new message, I don't seem to have the problem as much. My solution was to simply set the font settings in the locations I mentioned above to the same font. So I went to Edit --> Preferences --> Display --> Formatting --> Fonts --> Default font, set it to Arial, and it hasn't happened again, yet--it wasn't that long ago that I made the change, so we'll see how well it works. -- composer changes font mid email https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/584632 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
