User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050825 Firefox/1.0+ Build Identifier: 20050826 branch If you minimize a Thunderbird window and restore it, the that window stops accepting input from the keyboard of any kind -- menu shortcuts, arrow keys, etc. Bringing another Thunderbird window to the front (using the mouse) and then going back to the problem window fixes the issue. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Minimize the main Thunderbird window 2. Restore the main Thunderbird window 3. Press Ctrl-M 4. Press Alt-F Actual Results: Nothing happens Expected Results: New composition window should appear, then file menu should appear I've been using Thunderbird Alpha 2 and just switched to nightlies with the 20050826 branch build, so I'm not sure when this regressed (assuming others see it).

Regression date info: I see this issue in the 20050817 branch build but not in the 20050816 branch build.

I see this also in Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050828 Thunderbird/1.0+ ID:2005082804 Further clarification/symptoms: Restore down (small window) restore up (large window) restores functionality. If you open the indox, and select a message, then minimize and restore, you lose focus on the message. Restore down, then up re-focuses the selected message. Could not verify the regression date, but possibly bug #302120 checkin on 08/16 cc to Neil on the possible regression

Bug 302120 doesn't relate to the main mail window. I can reproduce this in a Suite nightly, so it might be a Windows widget bug. However, it would be helpful if you could get an accurate regression range.

Confirming original posters regression range tb version 1.0+ (20050816) works fine Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050817 Thunderbird/1.0+ ID:2005081707 Shows the symtoms described in the original bug report.

I see this in my branch build too. Needs to be fixed before next beta.

agree this bug needs to block 1.8b4. triage team: we need to plus this bug. This regression was caused by aaronl's change for Bug 258285. Backing that change out of the branch makes keyboard inputs work again for me.

This is very low risk because it is patching out a change that was made for only one of the testcases which caused bug 258285. The testcase was: 1) Make google.com your home page 2) Minimze all copies of Firefox 3) Launch Firefox from an icon on your desktop Apparently this part of the fix wasn't necessary to fix that anymore. After some of the other pieces of the fix for bug 258285 were developed, they also took care of this testcase.

Comment on attachment 194456 [details] [diff] [review] Very low risk. Partial backout of bug 258285 -- only changes to nsWebShellWindow.cpp Brian, you might as well give me r+sr=. This is just backing out an atomic change that we don't need.

Comment on attachment 194456 [details] [diff] [review] Very low risk. Partial backout of bug 258285 -- only changes to nsWebShellWindow.cpp Very low risk -- backout of atomic change from recent fix for bug 258285.

This change caused bug 305032 (launch from new icon after minimize) to break again. We never had all that working in the first place, but fixing it caused this bug. Right now we have to choose between fixing that bug and this one.

Reopening. We need one fix that simultaneously solves both this and bug 305032.

Aaron, is there a way to reproduce this bug using only Firefox? or SeaMonkey Mail? (given that I reverse the attached patch of course)

you should be able to see this in seamonkey mail too. Make sure you have a message selected and focused int eh thread pane. then minimize, maximize.

Yes, I see also this problem in Firefox. Regression range 1.8b4_2005081606 (works) and 1.8b4_2005081615 (fails).

The problem in Firefox is only reproducible for me with middle sized windows, not with maximized windows.

Fixed by checkin to bug 305032.
