Public bug reported: There are two similar/related regressions in Thunderbird 31, when typing address(es) in the 'To' field(s) of the compose window. Both regressions involve the widget focus behavior when navigating via keyboard after typing an address that is in your autocompletion address list. In one case, we see unexpected behavior when pressing <TAB> while autocompleting an address, and in the second case, we see unexpected behavior when pressing <SHIFT>+<TAB> in the same scenario.

Issue #2: STR 1 compose new msg 2 in exactly the last empty recipient row (with set recipient type), type a searchword which triggers at least one autocomplete suggestion: e.g. [To: ][searchword >> autocomplete suggestion] 3 press <shift>+<tab> Actual Result (TB31) a) focus moves away from the current recipient row immediately b) a new empty recipient row is created c) the just-added recipient row gets focus Expected Result (as in TB24) b) no new recipient row is created c) jump to the 'To:' combo box (i.e., the previous widget, rather than the next widget) ** Affects: thunderbird Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Affects: thunderbird (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1360086 Title: Thunderbird 31 regression: changing focus with <TAB> in compose window during address autocompletion To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/thunderbird/+bug/1360086/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
