User Visible Changes to Thunderbird 8

Roland is compiling this page in order to compile a list of what has to be documented for Thunderbird 8

special category! it will be an add-on for TB 8 beta at some point and an integrated add-on for TB9

(numbered for convenience only, not in order)

Keyboard shortcut Ctrl+F conflict and cmd_find ambiguity, used for both Find in This Message and Quick Filter - [bug 564328] - new shortcuts are: Find in Message - CTRL + F, Search Messages window - CTRL + SHIFT + F, Find Next - CTRL + G, Find Previous - GTRL + SHIFT + G, Global search - CTRL + K, Quick Filter Bar - CTRL + SHIFT + K (unused prior to TB8)
imap messages keep getting redownloaded if they incorrectly start with From instead of a : header bug 663671 - might land in TB 7 as well
the widget for switching folder pane views is heavy and ugly and confusing to users[bug 667245] - July 28, 2011, patch checked in awaits TB8 landing
Autoconfig wizard: Fix styling and order of buttons on Windows - [bug 667252] should land in TB 8
New Account Wizard bad-input warnings are unreadable (gray-on-black) in Ubuntu 11.04 (e.g. "Please enter your name", "Double check this email address", "Username or password invalid") - [bug 671094] - should land in TB8 and possibly TB7 or 6

~~Cannot select address book if quick search widget is removed from toolbar - Error: gSearchInput is null ... abCommon.js Line: 588 - bug 532505~~ - landed in TB8, didn't make TB7
#Cannot see some attachments - This is a known problem with some malformed messages. The difference between 3.1.x and 5.0 in handling multipart/related attachments is that the old versions listed any content it cannot display inline in the attachment list. This is no longer the case in 5.0 and such attachments are silently dropped. GS, [bug 602718],[bug 674473], fixed in TB8 - this bug has UI implications and hidden prefs which Jonathan Kamens has already documented in SuMoMo for TB8, thanks Jonathan Kamens!
~~When filtering messages on startup into local folders with "Multiple pop accounts to the local folder inbox, multiple filters to move to other subfolders.", corruption occurs - bug 668952, GS1, GS2~~ - ~~CANNOT REPRODUCE:Roland and RKent both can't reproduce the problem :-( ; could be due to it requiring multiple filters and multiple POP accounts (perhaps 4 or more?)~~ - REPRODUCED by RKENT: Two POP accounts, download to global mailbox, read messages at startup, filter from one POP account to a LOCAL FOLDER - UNVERIFIED WORKAROUNDS: i) Set filter scope to "Checking mail (after classification) and manual," from "Checking mail and manual." ii) Disable Email Checking at Startup iii) Uncheck "Allow AV clients to quarantine..." - [we believe this is fixed and landed in TB8]

Thunderbird 7 Support Issues
the above are great for Thunderbird changes, but open question: how do we track gecko changes that surface themselves to the user in Thunderbird?
