Odd Behaviour When Composing A Message

I think I must be missing something. Here is what I am seeing:

Using Thunderbird (v115.4.1 64bit), start a new email message. Go right to the Composition area of the new message and do the following:

  • Turn on Bold
  • Turn on Underline
  • Type BBB
  • Hit return twice
  • Turn off Bold
  • Turn off Underline
  • Type C

When I do that C does not get typed. I have to type it a second time. Further if there is text underneath where the C is going to go, some text and possibly a line will be deleted especially if it is blank.

Is there a way to turn off this behaviour?

Hello there We have read the message We try to help.

Can I ask what kind of security software you use?

There are currently also software that protect you, but also with the convergence of certain versions of Thunderbird, these functions prevent you from performing the functions normally and inject certain topics with software

which do not allow these softwares to function properly. We are talking about the release of Thunderbird in version 115 and further.

Does the same thing happen in safe/troubleshoot mode (hold Shift when launching TB)?

When I launch the compose window only in trouble shoot mode there is no ability to Bold and Underline text. I can't figure out how to test it. It seems like it is text only.

When I relaunch all of thunderbird in troubleshoot mode then start the compose window, the same problem happens.

I can reproduce this, although in the last step it takes 3 presses of a letter to make it appear. It doesn't happen in TB 102, so there is some kind of regression. If you want to bring this to the attention of developers, submit a report to Bugzilla.
