From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.9+) Gecko/20020406 BuildID: 2002040616 In the main mail pane, the resize cursor can stick around after a misclick. Clicking between two columns (where you would drag to resize them) instead of on a column (as I intended to do, to sort by that column) caused the resize pointer to stick around and mouse behavior to be weird. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to the main mail pane. 2. Click between two column headers, i.e. the seperator between Subject and Header 3. Move the mouse away Actual Results: The mouse cursor stays in the resize (double-ended arrow) shape. Clicking on messages does nothing. Sometimes other types of clicks (right-click to get the context menu) return the cursor to its normal shape but nothing seems to work consistently. Expected Results: The mouse cursor should return to the normal pointer shape and clicking on messages, etc. should work as before. Bugs 62007, 42927, and 59525 also deal with the resize cursor. I don't think they're related, but not sure.

I have seen the behaviour you described a week ago when somebody pointed it out on IRC but I am no longer able to reproduce it. Could you download a really recent build and see if it wasn't actually fixed in some other bug.

It still occurs with the latest RPM I could find (build id 2002041114, the rpm calls it 2002041111_1.0.0, so from the 1.0 branch).

also seen on Windows (4/15 build)
Status: UNCONFIRMED → NEW
Ever confirmed: true
OS: Linux → All
Hardware: PC → All
behavior also exhibited for the horizontal seperator bar. build 2002041907 on linux. click on the seperator bar, but do not move it. the cursor turns to vertical bi-directional arrow, and does not allow clicking anywhere except the horizontal separator bar. move the seperator bar (resize the panes) to return the cursor to normal working condition.

Check the comments in bug 138986 on this. It practically disables the mailbox and thread pane in mail/news.

Yes. When I originally experienced this bug, getting stuck in the 'resize' mode prevented me from doing anything in mailnews.

It also effectively disabled the menus and navigation bar of the browser. This may be the wrong component. It does not affect only mail/news. It affects the sidebar as well. Or any other split window operation. The dupe just filed puts it in XP Toolkits/Widgets. I'd suggest putting the mozilla1.0,regression as keywords; I'll probably be shot for suggesting it, but its annoying enough.

it cannot be a 'regression' since it never happened before
Comment 10•22 years ago
|

A change has caused a formerly working behavior to not work. Hence, a regression. See the part of the definition of the regression keyword: Also, for problems outside those identified in precheckin and smoke tests that were found in current builds that were **known know to be working in previous builds.**

Please note that bug 136809 was filed regarding a cursor problem in the Browser component, NOT the Mail / News component, so this issue is affecting other components as well.

Ah ha! Examining my problem in the browser component of RC1 on 9.2.2, I see that whenever I use the scroll wheel on my Kensington Mouse-In-A-Box Optical Pro (driver: MouseWorks 5.7), the cursor problem shows up. See bug 123172 for more information on problems with scrolling with Kensington input devices on the Mac OS.

I've seen what may be a related issue. When opening an LDAP directory, I did a query resulting in six listings. Upon attempting to resize the window by dragging on the lower-right corner, I could only resize to maybe 600x400, at which point the window would not get any larger. The cursor stayed as a diagonal resize, regardless of whether I was over the Mozilla window or elsewhere. I also could not access other windows, I had to kill the Mozilla process. to recover. I'm running RC1.0 on Windows 98SE.

I don't see the problem any more with Linux 2002051009 RC2 branch. Has this been fixed ?

I'm no longer seeing it either. I'm using the trunk, build ID 2002051011. It would be nice to know if it's fixed or just temporarily hidden for some reason. I'm the original reporter; should I mark this as WORKSFORME? Sounds like it's for this sort of situation.
