Yes Nick, and that is just what I have been forced to do. However, I still have this issue where TB refuses to close on its own, making it necessary to go to the task manager.

I guess the only reason I really find this filter thing so annoying is that nothing I do seems to satisfy. I cannot use the keyboard option to accept the invitation to let it do its thing, whatever that is. I don't see any messages that it apparently needs to filter either, and I don't think I've been missing anything. This is just very unusual behavior. It even takes longer for TB to load since I've returned home.


I don't remember what my previous version number was, so don't think I can determine if I have been updated or what. I'm just hoping that if I haven't, that a later update wont reveal new accessibility issues, like unto Firefox, but so far, none of those that I can presently see.


Thanks Nick for at least helping me think this thing through. But who knows, maybe this little issue will just suddenly disappear. And it may be  something I do, but I wont even be able to guess what it was <grin>.

I probably don't do as much with TBird as you do, but if you can get to
your inbox (for example), can't you ignore the filters option?

Well Nick, no problem finding my inbox, but the filter thing, as well as
this annoyance of not being able to close TD just will not go away. At
least there is that usual faithful remedy of the task manager. It seems
to work every time. Only wish I had a shortcut directly to the TB option
without having to wait for the manager to open <grin>.


The only other problem approaching this one was when I was being told
that messages were being considered as junk. That time, if I remember
correctly, just pressing F8 got rid of that one. Something to do with
the preview pane, or whatever that is called. Sorry, I'm half asleep,
and my meds seem to be having their effect <smile>.

I've had this occasionally.  Usually I tab around (frantically) until I
can find my inbox.

Hey listers,


Since spending four days in the hospital after dropping the DTBM on my
foot, something has started to happen with my Thunderbird that is not
helping with my recuperation.


For some reason, I keep getting a box that seems to ask me if I wish to
filter some messages with the key commands of ctrl-shift-k, but it is in
an edit box that I cannot move around in, and for some reason, maybe
related to this, it is making it impossible to close TB as a Window
using F4. Therefore, I have to use the task manager to shut down TB.


Could it be that TB has been updated since I've been away, and now
presenting me with these new issues?


Well,my foot is really starting to hurt again, so I'd better sign out
and hope that one of you can help me out of this rather irritating mess.


Any help will surely be greatly appreciated,


Larry
