Control: tag -1 upstream

Dear Carsten,

I won't fight about the severity as I said, it's up to the maintainer in
my opinion. Yet I disagree with one of your points:

I would: a lot of my work e-mails are mission-critical.

Backspace and shift-e will also do it. Remember that this bug occurs for
me dozens of time a day, so something that happens with a 1 per mille
probability will happen to me about once a week... I often realize that
I don't have focus only after I have typed several keys. Other users
(see below) report that the main window can actually steal the focus
while they are typing, not only when the window is first created.

I realize that we are in a freeze, that it may impact only few people
and that it's not an easy bug (I actually wanted to try various versions
of icedove/thunderbird and DEs, that's why I didn't report it earlier).

However I can assure you that is is an icedove/tunderbird bug that
affects several people, whether they are running Windows or Debian:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=942610
in particular
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=942610#c3

There are other similar bug reports, some old, some very recent. I have
just tagged this bug "upstream" accordingly.

Or have it tagged stretch-ignore, as you see fit.

> Otherwise no new version can go into testing.

I have filed the bug against the jessie version so that it does not
appear like a new bug (it's actually a quite old one). So it should not
prevent transitions, although it would trigger an autoremoval if not
tagged stretch-ignore.

Regards, Thibaut.
