I really wish we could make uniformity a trend again. GTK has basically made it a rule that applications must do whatever the heck they want.
Then next day I'm using Inkscape on a Mac. Cmd-A on the canvas selects all elements. Cmd-A in a text field selects all elements on the canvas - and whatever text was in the field, now applies to the selection, so I start typing and instantly get garbage.
How do you Select All in a text field? Ctrl-A of course! - On the only system that has a non-broken copy/paste in the terminal.
I guess props to Thunderbird for leaving some space on the title bar to drag the window around? Do not take it for granted.
Thunderbird is technically rendered with GTK on Linux, but is mostly written using web tech. They are mostly not GTK, I'm don't think GTK is even involved on Windows for instance (don't know about Mac). For this reason, I doubt they will follow everything gtk Gnome does.
