User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9.0.7) Gecko/2009021906 Firefox/3.0.7

Can't select "Don't Save" option when compose window is closed using either tab or "D" keys.  Is there another shortcut?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Compose new message, pick an address
2. Use <commamd> + <w> to close window
3. <return> selects the highlighted "Save" option, <esc> cancels, but <d> does not select "Don't Save", tab key does not change highlighted button.
Actual Results:  
<return> selects the highlighted "Save" option, <esc> cancels, but <d> does not select "Don't Save", tab key does not change highlighted button.


Expected Results:  
<d> should have chosen "Don't Save" option.
<tab> should cycle through the available buttons, then <return> could choose.

There is a shortcut (ctrl+d), it just doesn't happen to be what you would expect from every other Mac "do you want to save?" dialog. Dunno what has given you the wrong impression that d alone should trigger the Don't Save button, but in fact cmd+d should (see the way that it does in TextEdit, or better yet the way it not only does in TextWrangler, but the shortcut shows up in the button if you hold cmd for a bit trying to remember what letter is what).

Apologies - seems a number of non Apple authored apps are not enforcing Apple standards (which I am still learning)

<d> alone works for "Discard" in OOO 3.0
<d> alone works for "Don't Save" in MS Office 2008
<tab> moves the highlight among option buttons in OpenProj

For anyone finding this through a search, Ctrl-D is no long the short cut for "Don't Save". It is now Ctrl-N (at least on OS X). I wish this were documented somewhere.
