Sadly I don't understand some of what you wrote. Let me see what I
understood.

You're saying you want to check how other rendering engines behave. I
ran the test from comment #37 on Chrome and IE. Both continue text entry
with the font present on the first line, so their behaviour is what I
would expect.

Next you talk about "test cases" where you click and dump out the
selection. In this case, we do a single click, so the selection will
have one collapsed range. I don't know which property of the Selection
or Range you want to inspect, maybe
selRange.[start|end]Container.nodeName.

I've stripped down the so-called Midas demo and added some information
about the clicking when carrying out the text case from comment #37.
Result:

FF: BODY, continues in the wrong font.
Chrome: #text, continues with the correct font.
IE: #text if you used <enter> between the lines, or BODY if you used <shift><enter>, continues with correct font in both cases.

Let me know what to do next. And please, clear instructions ;-)

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.
