OK, when you say "editor" you mean "composer". The component that allows
the user to more or less WYSIWYG enter text (with fonts, colour, etc.)
and pictures and creates HTML which is sent out.

Charles beat me to it, but I thought this is being worked on, quoting:

The Addressing bugs are due to some significant movement on getting the
Composer rewrite going. This is a very *good* thing.
It is painful when bugs like this show up, yes, but the composer has
been needing the rewrite for 10+ years, so I for one am glad it is
happening.

I've certainly experienced a few of the regressions (bug 1042561 and bug
1043310).

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.
