User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.4; en-US; rv:1.9b4pre) Gecko/2008021612 Firefox/3.0b4pre Build Identifier: version 3.0a1pre (2008021622) As in Bug 357535 and Bug 411204. Specific cause looks like r 1.306 of /mozilla/widget/cocoa/nsChildview.mm rev 1.306 (smichaud%pobox.com 2008-02-13 07:57). I reverted to 1.305 in my src and now everything is working again in Thunderbird when I click the format bar. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Highlight text in Thunderbird Message Compose. 2. Click any button on the Format Tool Bar Actual Results: Once you click on the Format Bar the Message Compose loses focus and the Format Action (Bold, Italics, etc) does not take effect on the selected text. Expected Results: Formatting is applied focus remains the same.

I've just posted a patch for bug 404433 that also fixes this bug (at least in my tests). Please try it out. If need be I can upload a Thunderbird build made using this patch to my people.mozilla.com account and provide a URL for that here. Presuming I've figured out how to do a universal build of Thunderbird :-)
> Presuming I've figured out how to do a universal build of > Thunderbird :-) No, I haven't. Or rather, I haven't figured out how to build Thunderbird so that I can make an installer. If I build without --enable-static and --disable-shared the installer refuses to build. If I build with them I get a bunch of linker errors.
I'm checking out now, applying your patch, then building. I'll post results in about 20 minutes... or maybe a little bit more. :)
Patch works great for the Thunderbird focus problem. Thanks Steven!
You're most welcome!
