(Keywords: access)

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:60.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/60.0

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Write a new message
  2. Move the body pane
  3. Write "Thunderbird is my preferred mail client"
  4. Press control + shift + a

Actual results:

The whole text will be selected as if I have done control + a

Expected results:

control + shift + a should open the file chooser to add an attachment as mentioned in File, attachment, add.

Note: Doing control + shift + a on subject or in to field works

Summary: control + shift + a doesn't work in body pane → shortcut control + shift + a to add attachment doesn't work in body pane

Works on Windows. I never knew Ctrl+Shift+A existed, but it works.

I have the vague feeling that we have a bug for Linux that some key combinations don't work. Richard, can you remember? Can you also try this on Linux please.

Yes, for me this also does not work on Linux (just selects all text).
But other combinations like Ctrl+Shift+O do work.

This happens only on Linux. Mac (command + shift + a) and Windows are okay. Maybe we discussed this in one of the attachment bucket bugs. But I don't know of a open bug for this.

Duplicate of bug 269228 I think.
