In "Choose Optional Components" I can't select the different entries by cursor because neither cursor up nor cursor down work. 
This only happens in this window in all other installer windows I can use the cursor without problems.

Reproducible: Always

The tab key works fine for me. Isn't the tab key the usual key to jump to the next entry (and using space to select)? Never had the idea of using cursor keys there...

I always used the cursor keys in the installer windows. I never tried to use the tab key because the entries seemed to be a list where normal usage is to scroll through with cursor keys (and then select with the space bar) as in the shortcut installation window. And for consistency there should be the same possibilities in each installer window.

Using the tab key here is normal behavior for me under Windows. Cursor keys are for real lists (like select widgets), but here we have single check boxes.

+/- like Frank, I would say arrows are for radio groups, tab is for check boxes.

Yet, I must agree with Sven that we have an inconsistency:
*"Choose Optional Components": arrows do not work.
*"Set Up Shortcuts": arrows work.

Is this still happening in current SeaMonkey 2 versions?

Yes, the problem is still there.
