Shift+Click Issues in Thunderbird (Solved)

Below is from my recent post on the manjaro forum @ http://forum.manjaro.org/index.php?topic=10448.0


So I was having an issue in Thunderbird where I could not select a group of messages using shift click. I could control click to select each one manually but that was not sufficient for what I was doing. A Google search led to this page:

This person discovered they had set a global key/mouse bind in compiz for shift click to perform some other function.

I knew I didn't do that, but it led me to investigate my rc.xml file (I'm running openbox). I didn't find any shift click binds but I found a left-shift + drag mousebind entry:

Code: [Select]
<mousebind button="S-Left" action="Drag">
        <action name="Move"/>
      </mousebind>

I commented it out and restarted openbox..

Bam!!.. Fixed.
