I don't think it's reasonable to start traversing the DOM tree every
time that we want to perform an editing operation to find the right
styles/properties to use.  It's a lot of unnecessary work.  It should be
a lot easier to normalize the selection in a sane way to prevent it from
going into places where it would cause bugs like this, such as on a BR
node when you click at the end of the line.

If this approach proves to be impossible because of Web compatibility we
can always re-evaluate.

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.
