why is it, that when I write a message in Hebrew (right to left), every time I end a row , the last punctuation mark of that row jumps to the right ?

for example ,שלום קוראים לי עמית

?אני ממש לא מבין למה סימני הפיסוק קופצים לי לימין בכל פעם שאני יורד שורה

Did this just start with version 38?

Does problem go away if start in safe mode? - http://support.mozillamessaging.com/en-US/kb/safe-mode

No, it started right from day one (one or two years ago when first installed it), regardless of the version or operating system.

I didn't check if this bug is not appearing when starting the operating system in safe mode. I'll check...


Thanks.

I can't find any bug reports, open or closed, that describe this. I'll try to find someone to help.

I take from that there aren't a lot of Thunderbird users who also write from right to left... Anyway, I appreciate this. I'm sure solving this issue is a piece of cake for the developers.

Good luck.

Bug 1177505 was fixed in Firefox 42. So you should find this fixed in Thunderbird 45.
