The keyboard shortcuts for finding a message (Edit -> Find -> Search Messages...) is different on Windows and Linux.  On Windows, the shortcut is Ctrl+Shift+F, but on Linux it's Shift+F.  This should be standardized (along with any other different shortcuts) so that people switching from one system to the other, or who use both regularly, can easily use Thunderbird without having to re-learn keyboard shortcuts.

It seems like this is related to bug 242947.  GTK2 apparently reserves the shortcut on Linux.
It used to, not anymore though. 
The key was harmonized for tb3 in bug 482321.
