This seems to have started a few days ago (approx Aug 20?) in the 2.0a1 nightlies.

Press Alt-V or click on View.  Use the down arrow to scroll through the options till you reach "Sort By".  Press the down arrow, and the highlight disappears.  Press the down arrow again, and "Threads" is highlighted.

Same thing happens when scrolling up.  With "Threads" highlighted, press the up arrow and the highlight disappears.  Press it a second time and "Sort By" is highlighted.



Reproducible: Always

Do you not have a 'Messages' submenu between 'Sort By' and 'Threads'?

Extensions?  Problem occurs in Safe Mode?

That depends.

If I customize the toolbar to add the "Mail Views" field, then yes, there will be a "Messages" submenu.  

If that field is removed from the toolbar, then there is no entry between Sort By and Threads, and the behavior is as I described in the original report.

> Problem occurs in Safe Mode?

Yes.

I bet bug 356603 would solve this too.

that's funny. It is selecting a hidden / collapsed menu item.

This symptom is noted at bug 332802 comment 3.  I suggest duping this one over.

Attachment: the fix

use hidden instead of collapsed so the hidden menu item won't steal focus when mousing over the menu items.

hidden is the attribute we use when showing/hiding other menu items in the UI as well.
