Hi ! After update to Thunderbird 60, i typed a new message : I typed a sentence, and pasted another one. Then i pressed Ctrl+Z, and the entire line was deleted instead of some words or the pasted words. So i pressed Ctrl+Y to redo the typing, but that does not work, and "Redo" is inactive in "Edit" menu.

Is this a bug ? Thanks in advance. (Sorry for mispelling, i'm french.)

I tried to reproduce this but could not. Ctrl+Z and Ctrl+Y work here as they should. I suspect your keyboard interpreted a single Ctrl+Z as two actions, hence the entire line was deleted.

Try this: instead of using the keyboard shortcuts, repeat the process but using only the menu commands under Edit (press Alt if the Menu Bar is hidden).
