Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 226874

(Thunderbird :: Folder and Message Lists, defect)

Description

[IBIT.ZEE]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:29.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/29.0
Build ID: 20140923175406

Steps to reproduce:

In a folder tree (focus is in a tree element) when I press a key nothing happens or the respective shortcut happens



Actual results:

nothing happens or the respective shortcut happens...
If I press 'N' to select a folder named 'Nostradamus' the program thinks I want to "see the next message..."



Expected results:

When focus is in a tree root or sub-element the key sequence should select the appropriate folder... if I type 'NOS' -> the first folder beginning with 'NOS' should be selected...
This will be extremely useful because, for example, in "Local Folders" I have tons of sub-folders to organize my already read mails...
