There are two problems here: 1. Duplicate mnemonics in a menu should be avoided 2. If there are multiple items sharing a mnemonic, pressing it should just highlight the next one, not activate any of them. Steps to repro: 1. In mailnews, press Alt-V b Actual result: Sidebar toggles Expected result: First press of "b" to highlight "Side_b_ar" Second press to highlight "Sort _b_y" Third to highlight "Side_b_ar" etc.
Yes, both these menuitems use "b" as their mnemonic. Any suggestions on what to use instead and which to change?

http://www.mozilla.org/mailnews/specs/threepane/MailMenus.html says Sort By should use 't' as its accesskey.
I fixed this last night, I'm following the spec to use "t" as the accesskey.
