Hi!

It's easy to change your Identity accidently when writing an E-Mail.

E.g. use the arrow up key in repeating mode. You run out of the
editor window and finally end up toggling your identiy setting with each
keystroke.

This is dangerous in some cases and very annoying if it changes
your sender E-Mail address accidently and the user is not aware of the
change.

Simply stop with navigating before entering the Identity box when using
the arrow keys.

Regards
Stephan

this is identical with bug#13464 reported by me Oct 24. I really still find 
this quite annoying.
