Please land for ESR31.
One question: Landing this on 35 (comment #43 and comment #44) means that we will see it in beta 36 one day soon now?

Title:
  Thunderbird 31 regression: changing focus with <TAB> in compose window
  during address autocompletion

Status in Mozilla Thunderbird Mail and News:
  Fix Released
Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  There are two similar/related regressions in Thunderbird 31, when
  typing address(es) in the 'To' field(s) of the compose window. Both
  regressions involve the widget focus behavior when navigating via
  keyboard after typing an address that is in your autocompletion
  address list. In one case, we see unexpected behavior when pressing
  <TAB> while autocompleting an address, and in the second case, we see
  unexpected behavior when pressing <SHIFT>+<TAB> in the same scenario.

  Issue #1:

  STR
  1 compose new msg
  2 in exactly the last empty recipient row (with set recipient type), type a searchword which triggers at least one autocomplete suggestion: e.g. [To: ][searchword >> autocomplete suggestion]
  3 press <tab>

  Actual Result (TB31)

  a) focus moves away from the current recipient row immediately
  b) a new empty recipient row is created
  c) the just-added recipient row gets focus

  Expected Result (as in TB24)

  b) don't create a new empty recipient row
  c) As a consequence, as there's no other (empty or filled) row widget after the just-filled row widget, move focus to the next widget, which happens to be Subject box.


  Issue #2:

  
  STR
  1 compose new msg
  2 in exactly the last empty recipient row (with set recipient type), type a searchword which triggers at least one autocomplete suggestion: e.g. [To: ][searchword >> autocomplete suggestion]
  3 press <shift>+<tab>

  Actual Result (TB31)

  a) focus moves away from the current recipient row immediately
  b) a new empty recipient row is created
  c) the just-added recipient row gets focus

  Expected Result (as in TB24)

  b) no new recipient row is created
  c) jump to the 'To:' combo box (i.e., the previous widget, rather than the next widget)
