User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; fi; rv:1.9.2.3) Gecko/20100401 Firefox/3.6.3
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.9.1.9) Gecko/20100317 Lightning/1.0b1 Thunderbird/3.0.4

Since Thunderbird 3, the shortcut for jumping into the search-box does not select all previous text in the box before entering a new search. This previous feature was great; you did not have to delete the previous text separately by hitting backspace before entering a new search-term

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Check that the search-window in the main Thunerbird messagelist is empty
2. Hit Ctr+K
2. Write a search phrase
3. Hit again Ctrl+K
4. The previously entered text does not get highlighted
Actual Results:  
an previous text entered in the upper-right search-box does not get selected

Expected Results:  
The old text in the search-box should get selected, so that it get's wiped out when starting to type a new search-phase.

This WFM on Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9.2.5pre) Gecko/20100427 Thunderbird/3.1b2.

Rene can you double check when 3.b2 is released (today or tomorrow) ?

it is definitely fixed, as I've been following this issue. probably this is a dup of bug 525561

Rene, please note severity, is minor per https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/page.cgi?id=fields.html#importance
