On a branch build from today, ctrl-shift-a when sorted by thread is no longer selecting the entire thread. One strange thing, even though thunderbird has focus, my IM client (Trillian) seems to steal the ctrl-shift-a event and uses it to maximize / minimize itself.
Status: NEW → ASSIGNED
Flags: blocking-thunderbird2+
Edit / Select Thread still works though.
Oddly enough, this still works on the Mac. Just my windows machine has the problem. DOM Inspector shows the key binding is properly installed and regsitered for selecting the thread. But the key command never fires.
Hah, it turns out this is a bug with Trillian. Paul, do you use Trillian? They are stealing the key command at the OS level and Thunderbird never actually sees the ctrl-shift-a. If I quit Trillian, everything starts working again. Not sure what we can do about that.

Not sure what we can do about that. I don't. Interestingly enough, I noticed this problem on Linux, and you seemed to notice it on Windows; as I remember, my Mac did *not* have this problem.
To confirm, on my Mac with 1.8-branch build 20061115, option-shift-A *does* select the entire thread; although, note that it's the Apple option key, not the control-key. This doesn't work on Linux with build 20061121.
The problem on linux should be bug 269228, but the really strange thing here is that it actually works on trunk! (which afaict shouldn't be possible with gtk2 since the key seq is eaten)
Summary: Crtl-Shift-A is no longer selecting the entire thread → Ctrl-Shift-A is no longer selecting the entire thread
even using 1.5.0.x, trillian steals my ctrl-shift-a events on Windows. One way to fix this could be to take the GTK2 specific patch in Bug 269228 and make it apply for windows too.
It's WORKSFORME on Solaris nevada with Thunderbird 2.0b2 and 1.5.0.8, while 2.0b1 is broken. It only works when Sort by Thread.
This WFM with 2pre-0317, Win2K. Scott, do you still a problem here?
Marking WFM based on comment #10.
