Keyboard shortcut for Reply All not working

This seems to be a recent regression, or perhaps there is some confounding factor on my system. Thunderbird no longer seems to respond to the <Ctrl><Shift>R shortcut to Reply All. The mouse-driven methods of initiating a Reply All still work, and the shortcut is still listed in the Message menu. The normal Reply shortcut <Ctrl>R is working, and all of the other ones that I regularly use still seem to work.

Is this just me? I heavily rely on keyboard navigation for frequently used apps, and have always appreciated Thunderbird's extensive keyboard accessibility.

I was able to resolve this issue with an OS reboot. Restarting Thunderbird did not help, and the same keyboard shortcut seemed to work in other applications. In any case, this appears to be a "me" issue and not Thunderbird.

For reference, this issue happened on Windows 10 with Thunderbird 128.3.2esr (64-bit) as well as the previous version. When I first noticed the issue, I had Thunderbird check for updates and restart.

To reiterate, this issue is resolved.

Helpful?
