Comment 1 for bug 666629

Thanks for taking the time to report this. I use thunderbird multiple times a day. The event you are experiencing is in fact the way it is supposed to be operating. I agree that it is a little aggravating at times. I am going to see if we can mark this item as "wishlist" and hopefully get it the default behavior changed. Before we do that though please run the following command in a terminal to upload more info about your system.
