1819932 - Focus lost after resolving encryption issue in composer

Status: NEW

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

Description

[Nicolas Dietrich [:nidi]]

If encryption is enabled by default for an account, but isn't possible due to missing public keys of recipients, a toolbar is shown, which allows to resolve the issue, e.g. by clicking on "Do Not Encrypt" or by Pressing Alt-d (as highlighted).

Pressing this key or shortcut loses the focus, e.g. if the focus was set to the subject or body field and Alt-d is pressed, the focus will jump again to the "next" field after the encryption warning bar, which is the From field (in my case).

Instead the focused field should be remembered and remain unchanged if Alt-d is pressed or the button is clicked. Also the cursor should remain at the same place in the compose message.

My typical use case:

• Press Ctrl-n in order to create a new message
• Enter To address(es)
• Press Tab
• Start entering subject and possibly body
• Notice the encryption bar on the bottom during typing subject or body
• Press Alt-d in order to set "Do not encrypt" on the message
• Lose focus, need to go back manually where I just was
