11.2 (to be released tomorrow) contains Thunderbird 3.o(b4). There are some changes to the last version used in 11.1.
One of them is that when you want to read a message and *right-click* on it the first option which you can select it to open it in a new window. If you click on this option, then you can exit this message after reading it by simply clicking on the X in the top right-hand button on the page (just like you would have done in 11.1 and prior).
However, if you *left double-click* on the selected message to read then things are kinda different: the exit from that message is NOT the X in the top right-hand button - *this will close Thunderbird!* - but the 'exit' will appear just above the header of the message you have selected to read - much the same way that in Firefox a TAB is shown when you open a new URL (kinda, you'll see what I mean). (The same thing happens if you select the *second* option when you *right-click* on the message.)
Even knowing all this, I still keep closing TB when closing a message I just read :-( . Habits are hard to break.
There is a setting for this.
Tools / Options / Reading & Display / Open messages in Select the middle radio
Then your double click action will the the same as your right click action.
Single click still displays in the lower (preview) pane.
I've never understood the desire to have each message pop up a new window when the preview pane performs just as well.
So, long, story short, Nothing to see here folks, its just a setting problem.
Thank you, John, the "bug" is fixed :-) . (Pays to look at all the settings first.... :-) .) BC -- I work to live not live to work. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
