278495 - Left-clicking on an e-mail address in the header pane opens the context menu

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 245064

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Francois Ingelrest]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041110 Firefox/1.0 (djeter)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041110 Firefox/1.0 (djeter)

There is a panel which displays the headers of an e-mail (From, Date...) in the
the 3-pane mail window and in the standalone message window.
A right-click on an address in this pane opens the context menu, but a
left-click also opens this menu. IMO, a left-click should fire a default action
(here it would certainly be to open a compose window).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. In the 3-pane mail window, select an e-mail
2. In the header pane, left-click on an address

Actual Results:  
The context menu is opened

Expected Results:  
A default action should be fired
