[Phill Channon]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; en-US; rv:1.9.1.3) Gecko/20090824 Firefox/3.5.3
Build Identifier: version 2.0.0.23 (20090812)

As per the forum from the above URL, upon opening Thunderbird in Snow Leopard - all keyboard inputs seem to be ignored (ie: cannot up/down arrow in folders or quick search in top right corner, or even delete emails).

I had found a quick fix, is to compose a new email, then simply close it and it works as per normal.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Thunderbird
2. Confirm keyboard commands don't work
3. Compose new email
4. Close new email
5. Keyboard commands now work
Actual Results:  
Thunderbird worked as per normal after the above steps.

Expected Results:  
Keyboard commands should work upon opening Thunderbird.

No plugins/extentions - fresh Snow Leopard and install, no other programs open.
Thunderbird profile folder was restored from time machine (from Leopard) to Snow Leopard.

I have fixed this bug - when growl is turned off this problem goes away.

Issue is with growl, not Thunderbird

Not a mail code bug.

This sounds like a symptom of bug 510740, based on the description, but not if it's Tb 2.0.0.23, since Growl support wasn't added to toolkit/ until Gecko 1.9.0.

Does sound similar - the growl team does mention not to install it on SL:

"For 10.6 Snow Leopard, do not install 1.1.6. We are working on Growl 1.2 for 10.6 Snow Leopard"
