Description

[David Campbell]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.6) Gecko/20060728 Firefox/1.5.0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.6) Gecko/20060728 Firefox/1.5.0.6

This is using Thunderbird version 3 alpha 1 (20060830)

Sending a link in Firefox spawns a Thunderbird compose window, but the cursor controls don't work properly in the main text area of the window if you click on it after the window appears

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
This happens most of the time.

1. In Firefox go to http://science.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=06/08/30/1724236
2. Choose File/Send Link
3. Observe new Thunderbird compose window but don't click anywhere else on the window or any other windows
4. Locate the first text line contains the URL
5. Click the mouse right after the 6 at the end of the URL and observe that the cursor becomes visible there
6. Now press the HOME key on the keyboard and observe it does nothing
7. Now press END or any arrow keys and observe that they do nothing
8. Now click another window to give it focus
9. Now click back to the compose window to give it focus again
10. Observe that the HOME and END and arrow keys now work

david,
if your bug is the same as mine, bug 357215, then you should no longer see it on trunk. If you do see it then this should probably be unduped from 357215, which I anticipate closing. 

what do you think?
