Bug Description

After starting tb, the first time I want to move a message with <Alt>Message>Move nothing happens.
The drop-down menu just sits there with the "Move" entry highlighted, but no sub-menu appears.

I tried to do a screen shot, but that didn't work.

Hello again Humphrey,
Thank you for submitting this bug and reporting a problem with <Alt>Message>Move in Thunderbird. You made this bug report in 2015 and there have been several versions of Ubuntu and Thunderbird since then.

Could you confirm that this is no longer a problem and that we can close the ticket?
If it is still a problem, are you still interested in finding a solution to this bug?
If you are, could you run the following (only once):
apport-collect 1504697
and upload the updated logs and and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue.

Thank you again for helping make Ubuntu and Thunderbird better.
G

Tested in Ubuntu 18.04, Thunderbird beta version 57.0b2 (64-bit) and could not replicate the problem.

Haven't figured out how to test in Thunderbird version 60 yet.
Thanks

Hi again Humphrey.
Thanks for picture. Sorry for the extra effort you had to go through to get the picture to me. The picture is most helpful to visualize what is happening.

I think by your apport files that you are in Ubuntu version 16.04? Are you thinking of upgrading to 18.04 sometime soon?

By the way, I use a small screen capture program called "Screenshot." It allows you to set a delay, and it will wait a specified time before taking the snap shot, so that you can go through the steps for a bug, like this Alt-m-m issue.

Take care
:)

Yes, I am on 16.04 indeed and I am expecting the system to invite me to
upgrade to 18.04 when that is worthwhile for me to do.  Am I wrong here?

I have been using Shutter and only just now noticed how to set the delay :-(

Glad to be able to help.

Hi Humphrey,
Shall we wait until you get 18.04 and see if it is still a problem for you?
I will poke away at you again in a few weeks time, to see if you have upgraded and we can try it out again.
Talk to you again
:)

I am preoccupied at the moment so upgrading to 18.04 will have to wait, possible a few months even.

OK, Humphrey. If you don't mind, I will set a bring forward date of a month from today and contact you again on this.
Take care and hope you get a chance to upgrade soon.

OK Humphrey, I understand about not wanting to upgrade. Set yourself as a subscriber for those two tickets, will you? That way when there is any action on them, you will get an email.

On this ticket, it is confirmed since Martha Bourgois has indicated that it happens to her as well (Thanks Martha!)

Take care
