105443 - After editing multiple IMAP filters the rules dlgbox can not be dismissed by OK

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

Description

[marina]

This bug evolved after some email discussions with Navin and Laurel. It looks
like this problem is not reproducable all the time but there are already a
couple of people bitten by this bug so i would not ignore it. Here is  what's
happening:
- open filter dlgbox ;
- select a filter, click on Edit;
- Edit several criterias like add more( priority for example) and for "perform
action" specify a folder to move to ( chose a New folder in some cases);
- Edit a second filter with the same actions;
- after you do a lot of editting you won't be able to OK the rules window.
Laurel, please add more comments to this because you performed a lot of testing
as well.Thanks.

I still haven't been able to reproduce this condition. I tried several times
with oct17 branch build and was never able to get into the situation where I
couldn't OK the rules dialog.  I tried editing filters approximately 10-25 times
in each instance.  The only thing I hit was a condition where I should've seen a
folder create error but didn't; that made the folder creation dialog unable to
be OK'd -- reported as bug 105328.

Navin, i forgot to mention that your propsed fix to delete tmprules.dat did help
and i can OK the rules window now.

[Navin Gupta]

I think the fix will be to look for a pre-existing tmprules.dat and delete it.

Comment 5

[scottputterman]

what is tmprules.dat and what does it take for it to be created and thereby
cause this problem?

This has the potential of rendering filters unusable. we should fix this.

I have a procedure that this occurs every time I setup this peticular rule/filter.

1. Open imap filters dialog, enter a title for the filter.
2. Click first button labled "Subject", and change to "Customize" to create a
new entry.
3. Type in X-RBL-Warning (this is a header my mail server injects to spam
messages), click add, then OK.
4. Click "Subject again, change option to "X-RBL-Warning" for filter rule,
change contains text box to "spam" or any word you prefer.
5.  Select Imap folder to move message to message(ie: Trash)
6. Click ok, OK button does not respond.

... on a site note, the new filter rule stays, however the filter itself using
the new rule does not.
