Hi Humphrey,
Thanks for the TB version and the screen print. Thank you in advance for your patience as I have more questions for you...
I see on your screen print of the "Edit" menu, there are several shortcuts already. For example, for the "undo" function in the edit menu, you can do that straight from the main Thunderbird window (with no menu showing). You hold the control button and the letter "z" to undo an operation.
The underlines in the "Edit" menu are showing up right away for me as soon as I hit control-E (in 18.04, TB 52.9.1 64-bit). Is that the concern or is it that additional shortcut keys are needed in the menus?
Humphrey, here is a partial summary:
------------------------------
Steps to reproduce:
1. Open Thunderbird
2. Select a message
3. Hold down the “alt” key and press letter “e”
Expected behaviour: as soon as the "edit" menu shows on screen, each item in the menu should have one letter underlined, indicating the keyboard shortcut to activate that item.
Actual behaviour: When edit menu shows up, the keyboard shortcut options are not being displayed right away (none of the letters are underlined). One has to hit the down arrow to cause the underlining to be displayed.
Additional notes:
Reporter has attached screen print of the edit menu showing no underlined letters.
Reporter is aware that this is an enhancement request.
Bug has been confirmed by one other person in Ubuntu 18.04.
Triager has NOT been able to replicate this bug in Ubuntu 18.04, TB v52.9.1.
----------
Humphrey, please could you make corrections to (or completely re-write as needed) the partial summary above, to suit what you are hoping for? Please also add in additional steps that indicate where mouse movement/clicks.
