As Aryeh said, there's nobody who is currently working on the editor
code base, unfortunately.  This is not a very hard problem, it is mostly
an issue of having the human resources to work on this component.  But
it is also not as easy as you suggest, because we don't remember the
history of all of the fonts/etcs used during editing.

If someone wants to fix this, I think they should first look into where
in the DOM we collapse the selection when you click at the end of the
paragraph.  My suspicion is that place is outside of the element that
has the respective style for the font set.  We should probably look into
normalizing the selection in those cases to be inside the said element,
and figure out the edge cases that we need to think about and also test
the behavior of other browser engines in those cases, etc.

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.
