I have been using the key for Sort By for a long time, so Status Bar is the newcomer. Of letters appearing in the label, "a", "u", and "r" are unused as far as I can tell. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Alt-V 2. S 3. Various mnemonics assigned to sub-items of sort menu Actual Results: Either nothing at all, or menu item in View menu that matches step 3 is selected. Expected Results: Select a sort option.

Could you try to see if it still happens with http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/thunderbird/nightly/latest-comm-1.9.1/ ?
I see this with Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9.1.3pre) Gecko/20090811 Shredder/3.0b4pre. Gary, do you see this on non-windows? Aureliano, what does your "sort by" map to? personally i'd like to see status bar move to toolbars menu

(In reply to comment #2) > Aureliano, what does your "sort by" map to? I'm sorry, I'm wrong: ALT-V + S highlit FIRST view--> status bar, but also view-->sort by has "S" key accelerator.
