Which version of Thunderbird are you using, and are you using the default en-US locale?

The source file:

http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/mail/locales/en-US/chrome/messenger/addressbook/abMainWindow.dtd

specifies newCard.key as "N" (hence Ctrl-N) and newMessageCmd.key as "M" (hence Ctrl-M).

Are you sure you didn't misread these?

I am using 1.5RC2, German locale, and no, I did not misread.

Thanks, I've found it now, its a problem with the German locale on both trunk & the 1.5 branch (http://lxr.mozilla.org/l10n/source/de/mail/chrome/messenger/addressbook/abMainWindow.dtd)

Moving to localizations->German.

Using the locale-inspector tool in CVS is showing the following results for keybindings:

These 2 different keybindings have been existing from German Thunderbirds beginning. AFAIR I've imported these 2 keybindings from the de-AT Mozilla Suite / Seamonkey  translation about 3 years ago.

Robert can you confirm this bug for Seamonkey? Are you using still the same keybindings? Best solution could be to go back to the original keybindings.

Attachment: Patch to resync all keybindings with the original en-US locale

apporval-l10n for 1.8.0.1/1.5.0.1?

This problem remained in 1.5.0 and still remains in 1.5.0.2.

This bug will never be fixed in Thunderbird 1.5.0.x. It is fixed for Thunderbird 2.0.
