Interesting bug...

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10021407254

When I click on reply for this post, the fonts for the edit box and everything else change. Once I finished the reply and returned to the thread, they returned to normal. It's probably related to the rendering in the preview window with the post I was replying to. An open formatting code, perhaps?

Chrome v. 21.0.1180.89 is the browser I'm using.

It spills over to what follows in reply pages, but is probably overridden by style declarations for the elements on regular pages. You can do the same thing with your OP if you edit in an unclosed [font] tag.

Sounds like something that could be programmed against, though, fairly easily. It also sounds like something that would be easy to miss in coding.
