Steps to reproduce:

For years, I have used Cmd+Shift+F to open the Search Messages dialog on macOS. Now it no longer works, and the keyboard shortcut is not listed in the menu.

Actual results:

No response to that keyboard shortcut.

Expected results:

The Search Messages dialog should have appeared.

Cmd + Shift + F still works for me in TB 141 as does menu Edit > Find > Search Messages....
But I am still running macOS 12.7.6

Works for me on Linux with 142.0b3

I'm running TB 141.0 on macOS Sequoia. Maybe my configuration file for keyboard shortcuts somehow got corrupted? Is there a way to check?

The shortcut is missing from the menu also.

Hello!

We checked and were able to reproduce this issue.
We tested on macOS Sequoia 15.4.1 TB 142.0B4(20250811202529)

We tried to find a regression range.
It seems the last good build was from 2025-06-10 and the first bad build was from 2025-06-11.
The bisection returned 2025-08-12T11:42:14.936000: INFO : Narrowed integration regression window from [56dabce6, 3fd0df28] (3 builds) to [1982c21a, 3fd0df28] (2 builds) (~1 steps left)
