1762895 - With multiple recipient pills selected, focusing other spots in composition often fails to deselect all of them (e.g. `End`, `Ctrl+Shift+T/C/B`, after adding attachment etc.)

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

Description

[Thomas D. (:thomas8)]

STR

1. Select 3 pills in To field of composition, focus on pill 3 (can use Shift+ArrowRight)
2. Press End

Actual

• only the focused pill 3 gets deselected
• 2 pills remain selected
• pretty irritating for users who depend on keyboard access and happen to use this method

Expected

• All pills deselected

I have a fix.

More failure cases discovered which should deselect all pills, but only deselect focus pill, here's the full list.
Select multiple pills, then...

• press End to focus address input
• press Ctrl+Shift+C when selected pills are in To (and Ctrl+Shift+T/B by analogy), which focuses Cc row
• choose another sender, which focuses the Fromselector
• add an attachment, which moves the focus to the attachment

Attachment: Bug 1762895 - Make blur event on a pill deselect *all* pills if relatedTarget is not a pill or null. r=henry

When some other element outside of pills gets focused, make sure to deselect all
pills in the addressing area, not just the focused pill.
