In Mozilla browser CMD-SHIFT-M does not open a »compose new mail« window. Instead the fontsize decreases like with CMD - (CTRL -). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open browser window 2. Press CMD-SHIFT-M (CMD = APPLE-key on MacOS) 3. No »compose new mail« window. Actual Results: Fontsize decreases. Expected Results: Open new »compose mail« window. Workaround: Switch to Mozilla mail (CMD-2) first, then CMD-SHIFT-M opens »compose new mail« window.
This works for me on trunk builds from around the time you reported the bug (2004042008) and latest trunk (2004050108). It also works for me on the latest 1.7 branch builds (20040501).
I thought the documented keystroke was command-M (no Shift). Under Windows, it's control-M (from mail or browser); and control-Shift-M does nothing in either window. There is a bug somewhere asking that control-Shift-M be used to open a new message from the *default* mail account (which would only be an issue when in the mail/news window).
This is not a bug. It's a new feature of the webdeveloper toolbar http://www.chrispederick.com/work/firefox/webdeveloper/ I'm not going to bother looking up the bug number, but the Mac uses command-shift-m because command-m is already taken by MacOS for the "minimize window" feature. The bug to activate the minimize function is still open (so command-m does nothing at the moment). This bug should be closed. The fix is to go into the webdeveloper toolbar options and change the keyboard shortcut for zoom out.
