669619 - Feature restore: Separate 'Search message list' from 'Search message body' (shortcut key conflict)

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 564328

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[Derek Williams]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; rv:5.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/5.0
Build ID: 20110615151330

Steps to reproduce:

Searched message list (cmd+F) and then pressed cmd+F again to search body of currently open message


Actual results:

The first cmd+F opened the search field for the currently selected folder, the second cmd+F opened the search field for the currently selected message.  This is problematic when one wants to switch between these two different search methods for a repeated search.  Also, often the message list search field appears out of view to the right. When this next happens, I will do a screenshot and attach to this ticket.


Expected results:

I believe these functions should be separate, i.e., we should not be required to press cmd+F twice to search a message body.  The way it used to be was cmd+F searched the current message list, and shifit+cmd+F searched the current message body without the need to invoke the message list search in between.  I would like to recommend that this be reverted to, or that users be given the option to set their own keybindings.
