Thunderbird does not honor the "start reply below quote"

[John Vivirito]

Binary package hint: thunderbird

When replying to an email my reply starts on the first line of quote instead of below the quote as it is set to.
If i set it to reply above quote it works as expected.
if you select "Start my reply above quote" it works as expected

Steps to reproduce:

1. Make sure your setting in "account settings -> Composition and Addressing -> Set my reply below quote
2. Click reply to an email
3..When reply window opens the courser is on the same line as the quote

What happens:
the courser is on the same line as the quote

Expected Behavior
The courser starts below the quote

Here are a couple of screen shots

Here is the second one

apport information

[John Vivirito (gnomefreak)]

I'm fairly sure i did but i will make sure.

[John Vivirito (gnomefreak)]

running in safe mode does not change this bug

[John Vivirito (gnomefreak)]

This bug is also causing the reply to not be highlighted/colored

[John Vivirito (gnomefreak)]

I have been commented on upstream bug hoping that it will make it to this bug

[Ludovic-mozillamessaging (ludovic-mozillamessaging)]

Micah can you have a look ?

WFM with Ubuntu's 3.0.4 package, I'll test with 3.0.5 a little later. Reply is highlighted as well for me.

addons window

Ok I grabbed a screen shot of the add-ons window

[John Vivirito (gnomefreak)]

Even if I use reply on top.... the text isn't highlighted but not sure if it should be another bug or not but I'm thinking they are caused by same reason

[John Vivirito (gnomefreak)]

As of today (i wasn't here yesterday) but now even reply above message is not not adding spaces. It looks just like the ...below....

Happens using safe mode as well

Latest version I have is

gnomefreak@Development:~$ policy thunderbird
thunderbird:
  Installed: 3.0.5~hg20100421r4815+nobinonly-0ubuntu1~umd2
  Candidate: 3.0.5~hg20100421r4815+nobinonly-0ubuntu1~umd2

Ok the most recent issue,
reply above quote was due to not restarting after update. The original issue has not changed

[John Vivirito (gnomefreak)]

This is still an issue using the following version:
gnomefreak@Development:~$ policy thunderbird
thunderbird:
  Installed: 3.0.5~hg20100510r4848+nobinonly-0ubuntu1~umd1~lucid
  Candidate: 3.0.5~hg20100510r4848+nobinonly-0ubuntu1~umd1~lucid

Please let me know if you have questions on how i can find out what is going on.

[John Vivirito (gnomefreak)]

Once i get Thunderbird set up again and new profile i will update bug as needed

[John Vivirito (gnomefreak)]

This seems to have been a profile bug but it did take a reinstall of the system or even moving the ~/.thunderbird dir out of $HOME

[John Vivirito (gnomefreak)]

Seems after reinstalling Ubuntu and Thunderbird the problem has gone. It was a profile issue

[John Vivirito (gnomefreak)]

This seems to have started again using the new profile i had started. I will try to see what i can do to change this if anything

[John Vivirito (gnomefreak)]

This was caused by an extension i don't recall which one but it had to do with signatures
