Hello. In TB3B3 in view menu a new item is added that wasn't there in TB2. The "Status Bar" item in "View" menu. Its shortcut key is "S". It has two problems.

1) it is different from Firefox, where shortcut key is "B". People have to remember differently for Firefox and Thunderbird.
2) this is even worse: some user like me developed the habit to quickly switch to and from Treaded mode or non-treaded mode, to cope with their workflow. The shortcut key used to be "Alt+V+S+T", now it doesn't work any more because it stops at "Status Bar" first, as there are two menu items shortcut to "S" in the view menu now.

Trivial it seems to most, I found it slow down the whole optimized workflow I have dealing with my emails.

Reproducible: Always
