Yes, you can use the keyboard, but it's horrible. You can use Shift+Tab to move from the address field to the recipient type selection dropdown, but it doesn't looks like it has the keyboard focus: no cursor, no dotted rectangle, no inverse painting. Nothing. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start compose a new message 2. enter an address 3. Hit enter (move to 2nd line) 4. press Shift-Tab Actual Results: Where is the keyboard focus? Expected Results: No visual indication of where is the keyboard focus show the "To:" label in "selected style"

Nothing. Very true. Is that what this bug is about? Then it's a dupe of bug 301465. You can customize this yourself; in the 'chrome' directory of your profile, edit (or create) userChrome.css and add these lines: ======================== /* [from bug 285288 / 301465] * show addressing widget in the mail editor as button * (overriding native theming) */ .menulist-compact { -moz-appearance: button !important; } .menulist-compact > .menulist-dropmarker { -moz-appearance: none !important; } .menulist-compact:focus > .menulist-label { -moz-outline: 1px dotted invert !important; color: -moz-activehyperlinktext !important; } ======================== The Pinstripe theme has this built in already, I think.

Yes, OK, thanks a lot! It works! What about making the dropdown a stop when tabbing through the fields (To/CC/BCC and the addresses) ? regards

OK, if that's what you wanted, I'll dupe this. > What about making the dropdown a stop when tabbing through the fields > (To/CC/BCC and the addresses) ? I don't understand -- those dropdowns act as tab stops for me. If you tab from the last address field, focus jumps to Subject -- this is desirable. If you want to create a new address field after entering one, hit <return>, then Shift+Tab to change the field type if necessary. <return> will copy the field type, so if you change one to a CC, the subsequent one will also be CC. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 301465 ***
