(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

Description

[CB Falconer]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051111 Firefox/1.5
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051111 Firefox/1.5

With 3 pane display, offline, synchronized usenet, if I reply to an
article and eventually send it (with CTL-SHIFT-<ret>] focus goes off 
to nowhere, and I need a CTL-tab to return to the message pane. Very
annoying.  If I cancel the send, and have not entered anything at all,
control returns correctly.  

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  (Offline opn).  Select message, focus on message, possibly page up/down
2.  CTL-r to reply.  Edit etc.
3.  CTL-SHIFT-<ret>.  Focus is off in the boondocks.



Expected Results:  
Returned the focus whence it came.

Nothing shows up on the bug search, at least for the first few entries.  
Means is needed to make the search more selective, and/or able to be
refined step by step.
