You mean like CTRL-SHIFT-L?

Except that the menu does not show it, so I didn't know about it until you named it.

Clearly, we should display the accelerator in the menubar menu.  It would be interesting to know if this bug affects platforms other than Mac.

Attachment: Huh. It's there on my version…

Strange, the accelerator appears on my copy of Thunderbird.

I'm using "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; en-GB; rv:1.9.1.7) Gecko/20100111 Thunderbird/3.0.1"

Hubert, could you let us know which version of Thunderbird you're using, and if possible take a screenshot of the missing accelerator?  I also wonder if an extension is perhaps using that key for something else.  What happens if you hit CTRL-SHIFT-L?

Thanks,
Blake.

Attachment: Here it s not

This is how it looks here.

Could you test it in safe mode, while I download the en-US version, to see if either of those is the problem?

Thanks,
Blake.

Comment 8

[Hubert Figuiere [:hub]]

what is "safe mode" ?

Comment 9

[Blake Winton (:bwinton) (:☕️)]

http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode

Basically it's a mode where any extensions are disabled, so that we can see if the problem occurs in the base product.

(By the way, en-US worked for me.)

Starting in safe mode makes it appear.

After that it is always visible.

You have plenty of extension installed ?

Comment 12

[Hubert Figuiere [:hub]]

ZERO.

Comment 13

[Dan Mosedale (:dmosedale, :dmose)]

I saw the same problem as Hubert, and, like him, starting in safe-mode once fixed it then _and_ for subsequent non-safe-mode invocations.  Unlike Hubert, I do have a bunch of add-ons installed.  

Wild speculation: perhaps safe-mode forces localstore.rdf (or some other persistent store) to be regenerated, which fixes the problem?

Comment 14

[Hubert Figuiere [:hub]]

It should be noted that I actually had upgraded from the betas where this feature was not in.

Comment 15

[Dan Mosedale (:dmosedale, :dmose)]

That's true for the profile I'm using also.  That said, I think I've run in safe-mode at least once since that feature was added.

Comment 16

[Dan Mosedale (:dmosedale, :dmose)]

Unless we believed this bug effected a very significant number of user, we wouldn't block on this bug, and even then I have my doubts.

Hubert,
Does this still fail for you?

I no longer run macOS.

It show fine on Linux if I can get the menu bar to appear.
