I'm not able to duplicate this in recent (thursday and friday) commercial bits. 
Will try couple of other systems and update this bug.

Pinkerton: If you keep the focus on one of the pane, (by clicking the pane) do 
you still see this pbm? Thanks!

when i was seeing it, it would happen all the time, regardless of which pane had 
focus. other times when i'd relaunch the app everything would be ok. i'll keep an 
eye on it.

Actually, command keys don't work reliably at all as of 0.9.7.  %1 (propeller-1)
etc. don't work reliably with all windows closed but menubar retains focus. 
Ugh.  0.9.7 under MacOS 9.1.

[Blair Cameron]

actually, i find that cmd keys work unreliably since 0.9.6

in 0.9.7 (2001122106) on MacOS 9.1 with app open but no windows open cmd keys
don't function. even cmd-q.

also, i've never been able to open a 'location' (cmd-shift-l) window if mail
client window is focussed. always have to open a new nav window and then re-type
address. frustrating.

On Mac OSX I can use Cmd+N successfully - browser is shown. No problem with
other Mail shortcuts Cmd+T, Cmd+P.
About opening a 'location' (cmd-shift-l) window if mail client window is
focussed. Yes, we can use this shortcut only from Browser - may be because it
belongs to Browser, not Mail?

This bug is targeted at a Mac classic platform/OS, which is no longer supported
by mozilla.org. Please re-target it to another platform/OS if this bug applies
there as well or resolve this bug.

I will resolve this bug as WONTFIX in four weeks if no action has been taken.

Wow, it's too bad that the MacOS 9 releases are now obsolete.  There's still 
plenty of stuff that OS X doesn't do right, especially in the music universe.  
Obsolete this bug if you want to.

Mac classic is no longer supported by Mozilla. Marking WONTFIX.
