232681 - Can't open new message when no windows are open

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 232679

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Jesse Garnier]

User-Agent:       
Build Identifier: Mozilla Thunderbird 0.5a (20040121)

I can not use keyboard shortcuts to close a window or create a new message immediately after 
launching Thunderbird. I can reproduce circumstances where the shortcuts "come back to life," but 
only after a specific sequence, described in "Steps to Reproduce." Also, Apple-1 (to open the main 
mail window, if it isn't open) fails to work, as described below.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch Thunderbird.
2. Hit Apple-W to close the main mail window.
3. Nothing happens.
4. Hit Apple-M to open a new message.
5. Nothing happens.
6. Use the menu to open a new message.
7. Hit Apple-W to close the window.
8. Nothing happens.
9. Close the menu by clicking on the close widget.
10. Hit Apple-W.
11. The main mail window closes.
12. Hit Apple-1 to bring up the main mail window.
13. Nothing happens.
14. Use the menu to bring up main mail window.
15. Hit Apple-W to close the window.
16. Nothing happens.
17. Use the widget to close the window.
18. Hit Apple-1 to bring up main mail window.
19. It launches, as it should normally.
Actual Results:  
Nothing.

Expected Results:  
Opened a blank new message, or open or close the other affected windows.
