Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(MailNews Core :: Composition, defect)

Description

[Matthew Herrmann]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0; Q312461; .NET CLR 1.0.3705)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030312

When in the new mail window, if I press ALT-K, as I do in outlook, to look up 
email addresses, the list appears as desired. However, the cursor then 
disappears for all of the email input boxes. The only way to get the cursor 
back is to close the email and then start a new one.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a new mail
2. Place the cursor in the To: box
3. Enter a couple of letters.
4. Press ALT-K. A name and drop-down boxes will appear.
5. Attempt to modify the email address, the cursor is no longer visible.
6. Click into the email body text box. A cursor is visible here.
7. Click back into the address box, the cursor is still not visible.
Actual Results:  
The cursor disappeared for the email boxes.

Expected Results:  
Either, the ALT-K key combination should do nothing, or it should look up an 
email address. It should not hide the cursor.

Using Windows 2000, modern theme.
