Is there a glitch in auto draft saving when multiple email accounts are set up in Thunderbird?

I have several email accounts set up in Thunderbird. I have noticed that sometimes (not always) when I'm editing a draft, Thunderbird auto saves it in the drafts folder in a completely different random email account (it's not that I am necessarily logged onto the network associated with this email server). Although I would move the draft back to the right email account and check that the outgoing email address is correct, it still sends from the account where it had moved it to (my outgoing email gets changed).

Each incoming account is set to send through its own SMTP server with the same login details as the incoming account....

Doublechecked -- all drafts are set up to be saved in the respective email account. I'm often working on different machines so I avoid using Local Folders....
