1028884 - Thunderbird gets confused if you try to print a message while already printing

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(MailNews Core :: Printing, defect)

Description

[Jonathan Kamens]

1. While viewing the list view with the preview pane open, hit ctrl-p to bring up the print dialog for the message you're currently on.
2. Print to PDF and click the print button.
3. ** WHILE THE PRINT PROGRESS WINDOW IS STILL OPEN **, hit ctrl-p again.

The print dialog may or may not pop up a second time. If it does, dismiss it. You've now got *two* print progress dialogs, and you can click "Cancel" to get rid of one of them, but the "Cancel" button on the other one doesn't work. Basically, TB is confused.

(I discovered this while trying to print two different messages in quick succession, but I've simplified here because it also happens when you try to print the same message twice in a row when the first printing hasnt't finished.)

Walt, can you reproduce on linux or Windows?
(I believe that today's versions would not allow this)

I can't reproduce or I can't work fast enough to reproduce.

The messages I receive aren't very long and print to PDF pretty quickly.

Tested with 78.6.1 on Windows 10.
