Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:66.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/66.0

Steps to reproduce:

Started a global search query and then as soon as thunderbird shows suggestions (e-mail addresses that match the string I have typed into), navigate down to one suggestion (a matching e-mail address

Actual results:

Instead of searching for messages related to the selected mail address (xyx@xyx.abc), Thunderbird reproducibly only searches for the string I have typed into the search field. This behaviour occurs only when I use the keyboard to navigate down to the suggestion, not when I use the mouse. However, since I use the keyboard to type in the search string, the natural work flow is that next I use the keyboard to go to the suggestion that I want to select.

Expected results:

Just the same as when using the mouse to select a suggestion: Thunderbird should perform a global search over it.

We're talking about the Ctrl+K search here, the global one. In TB 60 and TB 68 navigating the popup of search suggestions works fine for me.

Maybe some add-on interferes? Try with all add-ons disabled, see Help menu.
