That changes the font size in exactly one pane.

SeaMonkey is every bit as bad a piece of software as T-bird.  It seems to 
have the same delay problems (although not quite as bad) and has many other 
problems as well.  I did manage to find a support group, but there isn't 
much help there.  Seems like some people have problems with SeaMonkey/T-bird 
and others don't.
