752048 - tab key does not move from field to field in compose window

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

Description

[Jack Eidsness]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:12.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/12.0
Build ID: 20120420145725

Steps to reproduce:

I typed in a blank labeled "To:"  (although which type of addressee doesn't matter) and pushed the "tab" key on my keyboard


Actual results:

nothing happened.


Expected results:

focus should have moved to the next field (the drop down for the next addressee type) and then the next blank to type an address. I had to doublecheck that my keyboard wasn't broken in another application; it isn't.

Tab key works fine here (also shift+tab for reverse movement):

I was just doing a little more testing before letting today's update go through (I skipped yesterday's because I wasn't using this PC) and noticed by accident that ctrl-tab and ctrl-shift-tab were acting like tab and shift-tab usually would. After the update, it all seems back to normal.

It's working again with
