It hasn't affected anything else *you have noticed*. It is interesting that "compose new message" is the first/top item in the menu [vertically] and that is the action invoked rather than opening the menu. It could be a bug in the translation strings, or the UI builder code, etc... Modern systems are extremely complex and have a lot of interrelated parts - very specific corner cases can appear. When thinking about a bug it is better to just avoid even thinking in terms of "any", "all", "none", "every" and to avoid assuming a cause as they will only obscure the attempt to find the actual cause. For instance "every message I've tested" vs. "every message". This is a very useful rule that really does help avoid trapping yourself mentally [which is something I watch people debugging problems do to themselves *all the time*]. _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
