397348 - [Cocoa] Some command / keyboard shortcuts don't work until menu opened (cmd-c, cmd-v, cmd-u etc.)

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 382138

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

I can't believe I can't find a proper dupe for this one.

In Cocoa builds, a number of command keyboard shortcuts fail to work when Thunderbird first loads (trying to use them just gives a failure beep), but they do work after the menu that contains them is opened.

Bleh I hit return before finishing. Anyway, to continue...

Keys affected include cmd-c, cmd-v, cmd-x, cmd-z (probably everything in the Edit menu), cmd-u (message source) from the View menu and cmd-p from the File menu (though cmd-w in the File menu *does* work correctly). 

STR:
1. Open a fresh copy of Thunderbird. Don't open any menus.
2. Type something in the search bar.
3. Attempt to copy or cut the text using cmd-c or cmd-x. Attempts fail. Beeps
4. Copy something from another app and try to paste into the search field. This also fails.
5. Load a message and try to copy some message text with cmd-c, print it with cmd-p or view message source with cmd-u. All fail.
6. Briefly open the Edit and View menus.
7. Repeat steps 3, 4 and 5. All should now work.

The regression time was between 20060928 and 20060929 (= Cocoa widgets switched on).

I wonder if it has similarities to bug 335006, except that in this case the commands work fine after the menu has loaded once.

Josh, any thoughts?

This looks like a dup of bug 382138.

Yeah. Weird, I never noticed that one when I searched. Thanks!
