Hi guys,

I don't know where to report this.. It's not REALLY a bug but a mere inconvenience. When I click on a message, then I can press the DELETE button on my keyboard. It deletes right away. However, when my cursor ends up on the other message, unless I click on my mouse to delete that one, it won't delete it. It's almost like the focus is NOT on the next email in row. I LOVE thunderbird! I really do. This is about the only thing I could say is not quite right.... I have so many emails in my inbox that I have no time to press the mouse everytime I need to delete a message.


I am using version 60.4.0 Linux Mint 19.1 Cinnamon 64 bits

Thank you very much for your help.

Same thing when you are trying to navigate through the message list using the up/down arrows. Will work but if you stay on the message too long (when it's switching from unread to read), it loses focus.
