A point [dot] "." at the beginning of a news post line will sometimes be doubled

So let's test this bug fix while testing the Thunderbird 78.5.0 release candidate on Windows 0 (20H2).

What is font-size: 10ex;

There is no ex unit in css.  Did you mean em:  If this is what you meant then the font size will be 1000 times bigger.  1 = 100%; 10 = 1000%

Didn't notice that and just copied it from the 18 year old bug report.

Gee Whiz, even an eighteen year old bug report would have been referring to Windows ME or Windows 2000 wouldn't it?? Not Windows 0, surely, Walt?? ;-P

I don't recall what Windows version the bug report was filed about, but I was testing on Win10.

Saw that "Win O" when I read it in the newsgroup.

Fired another proofreader.

My new plan is to email all my posts to you for review.

SM 2.53.6!

I guess I skip 2.53.5.1 when I get around to updating or is that a beta?

Prerelease as usual. Stable is 2.53.5.1. Wanted to see if the double dot problem is in it (shared code so yes). Fixing for 2.53.6 probably.

I just use the Message Header Toolbar Customize extension.

Not sure what it has to do with this topic though.

I (re)discovered the "double dot bug" on 16 September while replying on a message with the subject "Was On 68 something Now 78.2.2 - Awful !" where Andy Burns asked "I do wish I could remove the icons from the mail header toolbar"

Out of curiosity, I checked with exact same text that originally went wrong (changing a single dot to a double dot) and it turns out that the bug has been fixed in the latest version of TB.
