I mean the code under editor/ in the Gecko source tree, which handles
the backend of editors for both Firefox and Thunderbird.  Thunderbird's
composer uses the Gecko editor for composing mail, but also has its own
code that it puts on top, so the post you link to may be referring to
that.  This bug is in the editor itself, not the Thunderbird-specific
code.  The two bugs you mentioned are Thunderbird-specific and not
related to the editor (note "Product: Thunderbird", vs. this bug with
"Product: Core").

That said, I actually haven't been paying much attention, and for all I
know it could be someone has started working on editor again recently
and I didn't notice.  It doesn't seem so based on glancing at the log,
but I didn't look at the commits in detail.  If people are working on
Thunderbird more, maybe they'll want to fix stuff in the editor too,
since some high-profile Thunderbird bugs are really editor bugs.  So we
can still hope!  :)

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.
