233832 - When attaching files to email, the file names do not appear in attachment pane

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(MailNews Core :: Composition, defect)

Description

[Rick Friedman]

User-Agent:       
Build Identifier: Mozilla Thunderbird 0.5+ (20040210)

When composing a new email, attaching files to it causes the attachment pane to
open in the compose window as it should. However, the names of the attached
files do not appear in the pane. Only the file icons appear in the pane.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. File->New->Message
2. Once composer window opens, do: File->Attach->File(s)
3. In file browser window, select a file to attach and click Open

Actual Results:  
The attachment pane opens in the composer window and a file icon appears but no
file name can be seen.

Expected Results:  
Attachment pane should open and display file icon AND filename.

hmm mthis is working for me. But I haven't tried a trunk build in at least a week.

confirmed, Linux/x86, 20040211.

I don't even see the file icons (but then I never did, perhaps that's just a
Widnoze thing).

I note that when forwarding an email as an attachment, it does show up; it's
just files that don't.

Finally, I note that the attachment is really attached, and is sent fine. It's
just the display in the compose window that's broken, not the attaching itself.

I'll check to see whether this affects mailnews too.

This does indeed affect mailnews too; I also think it's a duplicate of bug
233785, but I'm not 100%, so just re-assigning.

I backed out Bug #229872 to fix this regression.
