When composing an email and selecting BOLD font, why does the BOLD aspect go away if later going to the end of a sentance.
This aspect has been a glitch forever and it's frustrating. Before I begin typing a sentence, I select bold and the font size. Lets say that I go back to the middle of the sentence to make a correction and then either put the curser at the end of the sentence or select the end key to continue typing, the bold aspect is gone.
And, it's frustrating that Thunderbird support does not take ownership to allow direct communication with them rather going this route. They don't want to be bothered. I'm about ready to kick them down the road and go with a different email provider.

Probably because when you go to the end of the sentence, your insertion point (read: cursor) is outside the html formatting tag that defines the bolded area of the text. How would Thunderbird be able to tell if you wanted to stay within the bold area, or go outside it?
My approach with this is to place the cursor inside the already bold part and type, retyping if necessary existing text, or switch to an html source viewer to be precise about cursor location. I can't see any easy way for the system to tell us if the cursor is in the bold area or not. Ideally there might be a real-time indicator telling us what the formatting is at the cursor location, but consider just how many combinations of font face, size, colour, weight, style etc there could be that it would need to cater for to be truly useful.
I have just the same troubles in Word and LIbre Office; this is intrinsic to the use of mark-up, so is not peculiar, IMHO, to Thunderbird.
