1464041 - Command+, (Command + Comma) Keyboard shortcut for changing font size in composition hijacks MAC default shortcut for app preferences

Status: NEW

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, enhancement)

Description

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #738194 +++

Bug #738194 implemented Command+, (Command+Comma) keyboard shortcut as an alternative for Command+< Keyboard shortcut which is Command+Shift+, on a default QWERTY keyboard, so that it works with and without Shift.

Unfortunately, Command+, happens to be the MAC OS default shortcut for app preferences, so we shouldn't break that.

Proposed fix:

I guess that - only for MAC OS! - we should just remove Command+, shortcut.

ux-error-prevention: MAC users who rightly expect |Command+,| to trigger TB preferences should not end up with a changed font size.
