Hi Michael!

It looks like this issue is already raised upstream. I will link the upstream bug to this one.

Regards
Chris

Marking this Triaged as we have an upstream bug.

This should be easy to fix, probably about 5 lines for the patch.
Structurally, something like

if attachments are selected AND focus in attachment panel AND Enter is pressed
  for each file in selection
    do default action
  next
end if

Which mxr file are we looking at?
Any volunteers?

Created an attachment (id=424525)
Proposed patch.

This patch adds the specified behaviour.

One issue I found is that the attachment pane can't get focus, and I had to manually override the style for the description element with:
  style="-moz-user-focus: normal;"

This was not the case in 3.0.1. I'm not sure why/where this change occurred. Can someone please look into this.

In which version can't you get focus on the attachment pane?

I just compiled a clean copy that I obtained from the repository:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.3a1pre) Gecko/20100131 Shredder/3.2a1pre

Probably the same problem as bug 507394, which was the compose window version.
