601432 - thunderbird-3.1.4 SMTP server password prompt doesn't take focus

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[William Throwe]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.2.9) Gecko/20101002 Gentoo IceCat/3.6.9 (like Firefox/3.6.9)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.2.9) Gecko/20100927 Lanikai/3.1.4

When sending mail for the first time after starting thunderbird, I am prompted
for my SMTP server password.  The window that does this does not take focus,
however, requiring me to select it manually before typing, which is annoying
because I primarily navigate using the keyboard.

My window manager is FVWM if that is relevant.

Reproducible: Always

do you have the same issue if you start thunderbird with the -safe-mode flag ?

Yes.  This happens with -safe-mode.

William, do you still see this issue when using a current version?
