Thank you for your continued patience.
It is true that this bug is is about losing the font when clicking at the end of the line after clicking somewhere else. However, I'd like to consider other occasions where the font is lost, that is after inserting an image by paste.

Let's deal with this "off-topic" issue first: In Firefox, using <div
contenteditable> you can paste in an image and then keep typing in the
font that was used before the insertion. So as you concluded, TB must be
doing something strange here.

As for the clicking at the end of the line: In Firefox, again with a
<div contenteditable> I created two texts with different fonts, clicking
in one, typing in one font, then clicking in the other one, then
clicking at the end of the first one again does NOT lose the font.

So maybe this is not a Core/Editor bug, maybe it's solely a Thunderbird
bug.

To answer your question why I was looking in the editor for the click
processing: pure ignorance. Of course you can click onto a static
document where no editor is involved and the click will be processed.

I will follow up on the other issues with the Thunderbird group
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/mozilla.dev.apps.thunderbird/1xtQ_nruGcw
and keep you posted.

Title:
  composer changes font mid email

Status in Mozilla Thunderbird Mail and News:
  Confirmed
Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: thunderbird

  As I'm typing my emails in Thunderbird, I can see what appears to be a
  font size change on screen, normally in the second line of text. The
  second line appear smaller than the first. It's barely perceptible, so
  half them time I think I am imagining it.

  Well, I've started Bccing to myself to check, and the emails I am
  receiving from myself are not only a different size, they're also a
  different font. Composer starts in some default serif, and by the
  second line is sans. I'd bee glad to email someone viz thunderbird,
  and also send along a screenshot of how it looks while I am typing.

  Thanks.
