112512 - Edit Draft button missing

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(MailNews Core :: Composition, defect, P1)

Description

[sairuh (rarely reading bugmail)]

see this using 2001.11.27.12-comm bits on linux --sheela also sees this on
win32, and notes that occurs with both local and imap accounts.

0. make sure you have saved a message as a draft.
1. go to Drafts folder.
2. click on message in thread pane.

expected: should see the "Edit Draft" button in the header region of the message
pane.

result: button is missing.

this is a recent regression, as the button was present in 11/19 builds.

"Edit Draft" is present in 11/20 bits, but missing in 11/26 bits, so the
regression occurred during that period.

As stated below the last build edit draft button was noticed is in 11/19
commercial trunk build. Nominating this

the edit draft button is missing because we are no longer setting
gIsEditableMsgFolder to true when we load a drafts folder. It appears that:

OnItemEvent: function(folder, event) in msgMail3PaneWindow.js is no longer
getting called when we load a folder like the drafts folder. Or rather it's not
getting far enough in that routine to set gIsEditableMsgFolder any more. My dump
statement in this routine around:

                 if (gDBView) {
                   gDBView.suppressCommandUpdating = false;
                 }

                 gIsEditableMsgFolder = IsSpecialFolder(msgFolder,
MSG_FOLDER_FLAG_DRAFTS);

is never getting printed out.

I think JF meant to re-assing this to varada. Doing that for real for him.

Almost the exact opposite behaviour is happening in Linux 2001120512.  "Edit
Draft..." is showing up in every message in every folder, including "Drafts".

odd, i still don't see the Edit Draft button with 2001.12.05.15-comm bits on
linux rh7.2...

[Peter Janes]

Sorry, I missed the "-comm" suffix--this is a -sea build from
<ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/nightly/>.

Commercial bits: 2001-12-06-06

Edit draft button is available on newly created messages on both imap and local
draft folder on mac os X and win98.  
If you click on existing messages you still would not see the edit draft button.
But after you compose a new message and save as draft. Click on the newly saved
message in draft folder.  Edit draft button is available.  And later selecting
other messages which did not display edit draft button will display the button now.

However, on today's build on linux I still was not able to get back the edit
draft button even after the above mentioned workaround.

reassigning to ssu.  FWIW, on the 1/2 build on Win NT, I'm seeing the Edit Draft
button.

Comment 14

[sairuh (rarely reading bugmail)]

i also see the return of the Edit Draft button [2002.01.02.08 comm linux].
sheela, should is this now wfm, or is there a recipe that still exhibits this bug?

Comment 15

[scottputterman]

I still see the button for a both an IMAP and Local Drafts folder on the 1/10
build.  So, I'm marking WFM.

vrfy wfm. however, reopen if there's a specific set of steps that makes this
crop up.
