Build Identifier: 20110424085659
After typing in a few sentences into the message compose window I deleted some words using the backspace key and typed in a new sentence on the same line/paragraph. The closing </font> tag was left in the original position where the text ended before I used the backspace key to delete text. This only seems to happen on replies and forwards. I just confirmed this by replying to my own message so I know it's not a bug with some other email client reformatting the text.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Send email to self
2.Reply to that email by typing a few random sentences in. Go to the end of the last sentence and delete it using either CTL-A and "backspace" or just "backspace".
3.Send reply to self and "view source" of this.
4.If you reply using another non-Thunderbird client the </font> tag bug is obvious because you will typically see a totally different font rendered. Outlook is especially bad in thus regard but the problem with the closing </font> tag is in Thunderbird.

Do you see the same behavior at <http://www.mozilla.org/editor/midasdemo/> ?

This is most likely a problem where the cursor placement is outside of the font tag.
See bug 588347

I just tried. The problem is still there. To reproduce it, just press backspace after inputting every two characters, e.g. input ab then press backspace, then input bc and backspace ...

I forgot to mention changing font size.
Below is the result:
<font size="2">a<font size="2">b<font size="2">c<font size="2">d</font></font></font></font>

See bug 812638 and note that the use of backspace is needed to reproduce there as well.

Is there any difference between bug 812638 and this bug? Aren't they dupes?
No longer blocks: font_size_bloat

No answer is also an answer.
Current summary and symptoms look same like bug 812638.
So unless proven otherwise, let's consider this a duplicate.
