Details

Build is on Monday, Sept 13th off the aviary branch.

When editing a piece of email the arrow keys don't work.  i.e. pressing
up/down/right/left don't result in any movement of the cursor position.

Yeeks this could be bad. We're about to release 0.8.

Brian, do yo you think this issue is related to the GTK2 keybinding changes for
editor that landed Friday?
Severity: normal → blocker
Target Milestone: --- → Thunderbird0.8
I think this issue was caused by the GTK2 keybindings bug: Bug #257405

It might be a duplicate of regression Bug #259011

Chris, are you using GTK1 or GTK2? 
I had to delete my compreg.dat in my thunderbird profile.  Bryner says
"SITUATION NORMAL, NOTHING TO SEE HERE.  HOW ARE YOU?"

OK, just to put some reasonable information here -

Bryner says that this happens if you don't use MOZILLA_OFFICIAL=1 when you build
(and I don't.)  I'd like brian to say why, if possible.  It wasn't made clear.
