Mac Forum / Applications / Firefox / Mozilla / January 2004

Hello,
I am running OS 10.3.2, Mozilla 1.6.
A couple of months ago, on using Netscape 7.1, wrote to Moz. champ.
about highlighting (color, underline, bold) disappearing in my received
messages as well as in my copies of sent mail in Sent folder. This was
not really resolved, or only temporarily (was using earlier OS 10
version at that time). Now the problem persists; an underlined word will
appear with a single underlined space immediately before and after the
word, and a bold word will have an asterisk before and after the word,
with the asterisk after the word sometimes being one space removed from
the bolded word. Further, color highlighting also disappears. I also use
Japanese, and I have switched the character coding to Japanese and typed
English, but there is no change. I have experimented with different
fonts, but to no avail.
I also sometimes have what I call a 'lag problem', when I type within
the e-mail message pane, and hit the space bar, but no space will be
created until I type the first letter of the next word. Strange!
I have checked my prefs again and again.
Could this be an OSX problem, or perhaps keyboard-related?
