309643 - When attempting to type text into search field, menus get inadvertently accessed.

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 199019

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[R. Douglas Barbieri]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6

For example, I want to search my email with a term beginning with the letter
"G". I click in the "search" box on the main UI window. I begin to type the
word, but when I hit the letter "G", the view menu gets access, and the mail
pane switches to "View|Sort By|Grouped by Sort". This is because there are menu
accelerators which have no "Apple Key" prefix. Thus they conflict with the
search text.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Click into the search field.
2.Type the letter "G".


Actual Results:  
View changes to "Group by Sort". I am unable to search for any term with the
letter "G". There are other menu accelerators without the "Apple Key" or
"Control" prefix which similarly interferes with text searching.

Expected Results:  
I should be about to type "Group" in the search box and search all email with
the word "Group" in it (or just subject and sender, or other method of searching).
