Hey Tom and all who have tried to help.
It looks like I may have fixed this problem in a rather unexpected way.
When I would try to close any of the windows representing a session of
TB, I was getting the impression that these windows weren't actually
shutting, because when returning to the desktop, and pressing alt-tab, I
would see other windows that were actually opened at the same time, all
of them TBe session windows.
You will recall that I took to going to task manager to shut down TB
when it appeared that these windows weren't shutting on their own. But
again, it turns out that for some reason that other sessions previously
loaded hadn't shut. I don't know how many days this went on, but after
going to the task viewer and closing them individually from there, all
of my issues seemed to have disappeared, or lets hope so anyway.
This one just seemed to be to weird for words, but it now seems to be
resolved.
Again, thanks for all of your
suggestions. They definitely seemed logical enough, but apparently
logic just didn't apply here <g>.
All of you have a great day, and thanks again,
Larry

I have no idea why the message filter dialog would pop up every time
you open TB. But have you tried closing that window with Control-W?
Just a guess.

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
