@Aryeh: Yor comment really surprises me given the following:

Also, we need to keep the sister bug 1140617 in mind. In bug 1140617 comment #8 Ehsan said:

To me, it's just a three line change, and if you want, with a test case.
Obviously none of the other tests checks the selection after the click,
so I can certainly add such a test following your suggestions.

However, before I start, I want to make 100% sure that we're all on the
same page. I have the impression that Ehsan has something grander in
mind.

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.
