399714 - F9 hotkey not working

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

Description

[Mike Cowperthwaite]

TB 3a1pre-1013, Win2K

F9 as a hotkey to show the Contacts Sidebar was implemented in bug 364229.

That key is not working, for some reason.  I've checked, and the code from that patch (attachment 249463 [details] [diff] [review]) is in place.  I've tried other accelerators from the menu and they seem to be working fine; don't know what broke this, or when.

Workaround: select from menu or toolbar instead.

Linux too.

Probably this should be another bug report, but Ctrl+Tab/Ctrl+Shift+Tab aren't working to shift focus from pane to pane in the 3-pane, either -- seen in 
3a1p-1013, Win2K.  F6/Shift+F6 work, and both pairs of keys work in the compose window.

Mike, it's simple why it doesn't work. You haven't add the key to the keyset. This patch enables the F9 key to be able to show/hide the contacts sidebar.

That's weird.  I know that the keystroke worked at the time bug 364229 was fixed.  Thanks for tracking that down, Henrik.

That's not correct. It never worked on trunk. You can blame Phil because he checked in the wrong content:
