This morning Thunderbird stopped accepting keystrokes, including all letters and the delete key, from my Microsoft keyboard. I downloaded the latest version, yet the problem persists. Can someone help? Thank you. Rob

Some have reported that pressing F9+Windows one or more times has worked to fix issues with the keyboard not working.

Thank you! I had to do it several times, plus holding down both windows keys in addition to F9.
