1098297 - Pop-up/popup "Assembling message…Done" overlays warning prompt to send large attachment (gets hidden)

Status: NEW

Description

[Sebastian Hengst [:aryx] (needinfo me if it's about an intermittent or backout)]

Thunderbird 34.0b1 on Windows 8.1

The pop-up "Assembling message…Done" overlays the warning prompt to send a large attachment (which is partly hidden behind it).

Steps to reproduce:
1. Write mail.
2. Attach file >20 MB.
3. Try to send the mail.

Suyash, you improved the warning text in bug 1033963. Is it possible to check the file size earlier (before the assembling message is shown)?

I've never seen this.
Can you still reproduce?

TCW can you reproduce as described?

So I tested with a 34.6 MB file, the "Assembling message…Done" message gets hidden behind a confirmation message stating "Warning! You're about to send a message of size 46.3 MB. Are you sure you want to do this?" But once you click OK on the confirmation message, the hidden "Assembling message…Done" message becomes visible and tries to proceed. So yes, it repros.
