318997 - tool bar button in menu bar disappears

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 288079

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[Mikel Ward]

Buttons don't properly stay in the top tool bar row (the one also containing the main menu bar).

1. Right click in a blank area on the tool bar, select Customize...
2. Drag a tool icon (such as Write, the icon with a piece of paper and a pen)
   from the Mail tool bar to the menu bar (on the left of the File menu)
3. Click OK
4. Repeat step 1
5. Scroll the dialog box down so you can see the View label in the Search bar
6. Click on the View label
7. Click Cancel

The Write icon then disappears from the menu bar, despite it having been previously accepted and stored.

cancel doesn't keep them on the toolbar. OK is necessary to complete the process.

Comment 2

Please re-read the bug report.

The icon is added in step 2 and OK'd in step 3.

Cancel should only undo steps 4-6.

your problem was on version 1.5.
Can you recreate step 2 with version 2 or current trunk build?
I can't recreate step 2 (click OK and have customizes stay open) sending the icon to the menu bar or the mail toobar.
version 2.0.0.12 (20080213)
current trunk

That's because that's not at all what step 2 is: step 3 is click OK, step 4 is reopen customize.

However, you're not going to find it in 2.0 or trunk, because I fixed it quite a while back.
