            Bug ID: 4598
           Summary: Inconsistent traversal between From and To (and Copy
                    etc) entry boxes.
           Product: Claws Mail
           Version: 4.0.0
          Hardware: PC
                OS: OpenBSD
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P3
         Component: UI/Compose Window

Use the Up key to traverse from bottom of To, Cc, etc, addressee list.  When
the top is reached the Up key causes traversal to the From entry box.  If the
Up key is pressed after the From entry box is reached the Up key changes from
causing Entry box traversal to causing scrolling through the list of potential
>From addressees; and causes a similar change in behaviour for the Down key.

It is far, far, too easy to overshoot when using the Up key and cause the
change in behaviour without noticing: and consequently change the From
addressee and perhaps not notice that either.

The behaviour of the Up key should not change in this way. The User Interface
is simpler if it does not change in this way.  A simpler User Interface is a
better User Interface.

There is a drop-down list of From addressees right next to the From entry box:
why not rely on that rather than mess with the behaviour of the Up key.
