Bug Description

In composing area of new mail, Thunderbird does not honor gtk-key-theme=Emacs on some key-combinations.

DOES NOT WORK:

C-f: <right> Move forward one character (forward-char).
- Open search dialogue instead

C-n: <down> Move down one screen line (next-line).
- Open an another composing window instead

C-p: <up> Move up one screen line (previous-line).
- Open print dialogue instead

C-w: <Ctrl>+<Delete> Kill region (backward-word).
- Close the window instead

WORKS:
C-a: <Home> Move to the beginning of the line (move-beginning-of-line).

C-e: <End> Move to the end of the line (move-end-of-line).

C-b: <left> Move backward one character (backward-char).

gtk-key-theme=Emacs can be set by the command:
$ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-key-theme 'Emacs'

Actual results:

C-n: <down> Move down one screen line (next-line).

C-p: <up> Move up one screen line (previous-line).

C-w: <Ctrl>+<Delete> Kill region (backward-word).

Hello Nobuto,
Thank you for submitting this bug and reporting a problem with Thunderbird and gtk-key-theme=Emacs.

You made this bug report in 2011 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?
Or, if it is still a problem, could you run the following (only once):
apport-collect 875315

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.
