1265206 - Drag & drop of non-consecutive messages stopped working

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1256016

(Thunderbird :: Folder and Message Lists, defect)

Description

[Albert Scheiner [:alberts]]

After selecting non-consecutive messages I can't drag them into a new folder.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open your inbox.
2. Select multiple messages - at least one non-consecutive by holding down Cmd
3. Hold left mouse button.
4. Drag selected files to another folder.
Actual Results:
Nothing happens after step 3.

Expected Results:  
The cursor should change after 3., and after  4. the messages should be moved to the other folder.

Drag & drop for single messages and for multiple consecutive messages (following each other directly in the list view) works fine.

Sounds vaguely familiar, but I can't reproduce on linux.

Might be OS a specific bug. First time a saw it was a couple of versions ago, though.

Does this reproduce when Thunderbird started in safe mode?

I cannot reproduce on windows

If it fails also in safe mode, perhaps you are seeing bug 1256016 - which is about visual feedback only. 
In that case, the message action works.

That's it. Just tested it and the message get moved into the other folder.

Closing this as dup.
