Starting about 4 weeks ago, I noticed that the F8 key would no longer toggle the message pane's visibility when in the standard 3 pane mode.  The visible state of the pane when starting Thunderbird is irrelevant.  Once I manually click View -> Layout -> Message Pane in the menus, the F8 functionality will continue to work as it should for that session but will return to the broken behaviour after application restart.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start a recent Shredder beta
2. Select any message in the standard 3 pane viewing mode
3. Press F8 to toggle message pane visibility

Actual Results:  
Message pane visibility does not toggle

Expected Results:  
Message pane should become visible or hidden
