Changing text color always goes to the default color 'black' unless I select the alt color twice.

I write a newsletter with several titles, and I want to highlight part of the title with red. When I select the text I want from default color black to red, the text says black, that is until I do it twice. The text and background color box is black, then it changes to red and stays red, but then on the next selected text to change color, it requires me to again make a double request. This happens only after I do it on the page more than two or three times (works property first 2-3 times). I have restarted the program, I have started with a fresh email, and I have adjusted every item in the Display Tab under colors.

Restart Thunderbird with add-ons disabled (Thunderbird Safe Mode). On the Help menu, click on "Restart with Add-ons Disabled". If Thunderbird works like normal, there is an Add-on or Theme interfering with normal operations. You will need to re-enable add-ons one at a time until you locate the offender.

If that does not work, I would normally recommend installing a beta version to see if the issue is fixed in later versions. But at the moment there is no beta (V68 will be release any day now)
