Description Ismail Donmez 2011-02-09 03:58:07 PST 
This is a weird bug, to reproduce you must have Flash Plugin 10.1 or later installed.

How to reproduce:

- Open your GMail inbox
- Notice that all fonts are good and antialiased
- Click compose window
- Note that fonts become distorted like losing their antialiasing
- Click "Discard" to close Compose window and the fonts become normal again.

This seems to be due the Flash plugin (Compose window uses it for attachments), if you disable Flash bug will not reproduce.

Also note that this only happens with WebKit, won't reproduce in Chrome either.

To reproduce the issue you need to enable "Rich formatting" in the compose window, if you disabled it.
