Steps to reproduce:
Thunderbird 115.6.0 (64-Bit) on Linux Mint
System: Kernel: 5.4.0-170-generic x86_64 bits: 64 compiler: gcc v: 9.4.0
Desktop: Cinnamon 5.2.7 wm: muffin dm: LightDM Distro: Linux Mint 20.3 Una
base: Ubuntu 20.04 focal
- select message in message list
- press menu key
Actual results:
outcome: nothing happens
Expected results:
expected outcome: context menu should open
I'm running Mint 21.3 TB 115.6.0.
Hitting the menu key brings up the Linux Start Menu, which I would expect Linux to do.
I don't get the same results as Peter does. "nothing happens".
The same happens with TB in Windows 10 too. The Windows start menu opens with the typical tiles menu.

This bug can be closed.
It's totally not a Thunderbird issue, but turned out to be a Linux Mint configuration.
The menu key ☰ key that sits between the right windows key and the right ctrl key on my keyboard didn't evoke this functionality systemwide.
Turns out there was a configuration in the options of the keyboard layout dialog that assigned the menu key to right control, masking out the original functionality (which is also bound to Shift+F10 for keyboards lacking the menu key).
