Instead, newlines are inserted at all soft linebreaks (that is - at all positions where lines wrap). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Edit a new message 2. Write enough text to ensure that the line wraps. Don't insert manual linebreaks! 3. Save as draft 4. Close edit window 5. Select the saved draft (from drafts folder) 6. "Edit draft" 7. insert text at start of message - to ensure that the last word on first line is pushed down to next line Actual Results: When the new linewrap occurs, the second line is moved to third line, and the new wrapped word is left alone on second line. Expected Results: The wrapped word should have been appended to the start of the second line without moving the second line to the third line.

I can confirm this bug, it is an annoying problem that I frequently encounter. For me, I work on an email, save as draft, then later select the email, select edit draft, and the line wrap formatting is all messed up as soon as I make some changes to the email.

this also occurs on mac

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01". This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code. While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug (given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more reproduction information if you have it. If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved. Thank you for your help in this matter.

The bug still exists in V 1.5 Beta 1. The bug greatly limits the usefulness of the 'save' facility. If you want to work extensively on a message over a period of time, it's really necessary to use an external editor. But that creates its own problems with quoted text, which (as far as I know), can't be transferred as such from an external editor.

I can confirm this bug as happening in Thunderbird 1.5 Beta 1 on Windows 2000 (SP 4) It's disappointing, and is actually a deal-breaker for me with Thunderbird, because if I want to save a draft, I don't want to have to go through the email and manually fix all the line breaks every time I use Thunderbird. I guess it's too late for it to be fixed for Thunderbird 1.5, but is it possible to have this fixed in a later version of Thunderbird?

This really seems like a duplicate of bug 155622.
