For the release version of TB 115.0

The quickfilter is broken is a particular manner:

   some characters can be entered in the quickfilter-box.
   other characters (i.e. 'r', 'o'  the reply-shortcut key?) fail to be inserted/loses focus, and instead the reply- or open-message-action is initiated for the selected message.

I have not tested this extensively, but the issue shows up on my Win10 32-bit system

Is there any way to limit the storage space in cache2 taken by a particular extension? The Ghostery extension has nearly a gigabyte of storage taken up there on my system and shows no signs of slowing down.

I already have an overall limit on firefox's cache storage allowance. The problem is it's being monopolized by this extension.

I have a saved query folder that I use to view the contents of three folders, each in their own IMAP account. When I select this folder, the queries don't run -- I have to go into each individual folder first to initiate another check before this folder populates.

Can someone explain how this works? Perhaps I need to subscribe to the IMAP folders to keep them actively checked/updated? I would expect that when I enter into the stored query that it would perform that query and those folders would be checked.

Thanks.

My Ubuntu distro offered a Thunderbird upgrade from 102 to 115.3.1 and I wish I hadn't taken it. After spending a lot of time getting Thunderbird display to be somewhat like my usual view, I am still unable to restore several favorites.

1. The status bar no longer shows me the total of unread messages 2. To save real estate on the screen, I usually do not display the File menu bar but the hamburger menu drop down in 115.3.1 is missing a lot of items that I used - empty trash being one of them and view>all headers is another. 3. The 'Get Messages' button on the top row doesn't enable me to be selective by mail account - again I have to display the menu bar and so lose screen space. 4. I cannot get the threaded message view to display lines showing the links between messages.

Maybe there are configuration changes I need to make? I'd appreciate whatever help can be offered. Thank you.

Hi,

My Ubuntu install upgraded my Thunderbird install to 115.3.1.

Since then, I have a strange behaviour when clicking on messages. Let me explain :

A first click highlights the message in the list of messages (grey blue in my case). The message is then shown in the massage pane.

However, in that state, the message cannot be deleted with the "delete" key. To delete it with the keyboard, it requires to be clicked again, and then it is highlighted in light blue in the messages list pane.

Is this a normal behaviour or did something go wrong with my install. I searched on the internet but I did not find anybody with a similar problem.

Best,

Patrick

I am afraid that I am not at all happy with the new version of Thunderbird. It may be that as I get used to it I will find some of the new features helpful, but right now I am more concerned about what was taken away that was helpful:

   a) I keep getting 'not responding' -- especially when trying to set my theme 'yet again (and again, and again)!!!!  I am mostly shut-in due to illness and the themes make a difference emotionally compared to a stark 'black and white'.  Furthermore, what is the point of having TB themes when they don't hold -- I often have to re-set mine several times a day
   b) tabs are now hidden -- I need to colour-code messages so I know which I need to get back to soon or can wait. Having them hidden under that new right arrow makes extra steps to do so
   c) the row of custom colours no longer hold: what is the point of being able set a row of custom colour if they don't hold!!!  I used different colours to indicate different responses in a thread -- thereby having an immediate way to see the order of responses.
   d) I need layers of sub-folders -- often to add a new name to a group I belong to, or a new year.  I have been asking again and again over several years for the ability to create a new sub-folder WHILE one is moving an email from the inbox to a folder or sub-folder.  Having to 'go' to the folder first, make a new sub-subfolder, return to the inbox, and then move the email is an unnecessary waste of time. 
   e) 'a picture says a thousand words' -- emojs are so useful in this way, especially when one is tired or can't think of the right words to say.  This feature was taken away years ago, and I wish that TB would bring it back.  The minimal 'yellow faces' are minimal useful.
   I am not techy enough to really understand what you have written below - what is a 'message context menu' and 'mock-ups'.  However, it seems to me that the TB functons (at least the ones that I need) are getting less and less useful and increasing 'cognitive burden'.
   Sorry to be so negative, but I do wonder who TB is trying to please/appease -- it is not this user.
   Blessings

Hi,

I have Firefox 102 ESR in Debian 11 (LXC in Chrome OS). It is the en_US version with Czech spell checking dictionary installed as an add-on. I can switch the spell checker from English to Czech in ordinary text areas by accessing the context menu via a right mouse click.

However, I'm using a proprietary e-commerce system (Shoptet) with a WYSIWIG editor that has its own context menu, overriding the default one in the browser. I can't switch the language for that reason. Is there a way to switch the spell checker language for a particular text area without access to the context menu? Thank you very much.

I often need to be able to use the arrow keys to navigate my screen, especially in order to find and click on browser links. However, in the latest version of Firefox on a new macOS Ventura machine, the arrow keys are interpreted by Firefox even though they shouldn't be; at the least corresponding box in "Settings" is unchecked.

How can toggle this behavior off?

Thank you, David Romano

Clicking a new email popup opens the Message Pane, but I don't use Message Pane generally.

I feel like it is reasonable to expect that when I have the Message Pane off/hidden that clicking a new message popup would follow the same behaviour as the "open messages in..." setting (a new tab in my case).

Am I missing a setting or is this a UI peculiarity that I should submit as a bug/feature request?
