115364 - Incorrect login shows 2 alerts then doesn't prompt for psswd again until GetMsg

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[laurel]

Using dec14 commercial trunk build

If you provide an incorrect password on login to an IMAP mail account, you'll
see two instances of the authentication failed alert then you won't be prompted
to enter password again until you click GetMsg.  I checked and there is no login
prompt hidden behind a window.

1.  Launch and open mail window, select IMAP inbox.
2.  At password prompt type an incorrect password and OK.
3.  Authentication failed alert appears, OK it.
4.  Another Authentication failed alert appears, OK it.
5.  Wait awhile for password prompt to appear on its own.

Result: Not prompted for password after failed authentication.  Prompt will
appear if you click GetMsg.

Expected:  I should get another password prompt.

cc'ing naving.  This sounds like a similar bug you worked on a while ago.

This bug is being marked EXPIRED as it has seen no activity in a very long time.

If you think that the issue reported might still be relevant, please test with a recent release of SeaMonkey and if the problem persists feel free to re-open the report. Thank you.

Bulk reopening incorrectly expired bugs - no activity does not constitute no bug - these need proper checking.
