13328 - Can't type in New Msg window

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(MailNews Core :: Composition, defect, P3)

Description

[scottputterman]

In this morning's build, I can not type in the New Msg window at all.  No
signature comes up and it's impossible for me to get a cursor in the edit area.

To reproduce:

Start mailnews
click on the new msg button
Try to type in the message body area.

Reassigning to jfrancis.  Backing out your changes to MsgComposeCommands.js
makes this go away.

I'm still building, and Joe isn't around.  Scott, can you check in the change to
MsgComposeCommands.js?  Leave assigned to joe, so he can fix this properly.

OK.  I checked it in.

James, just a suggestion but if you need help getting mailnews running on your
machine please let us know and we can help get you going. It looks like you made
these changes specifically for mailnews compose but they don't appear to work
real well for us =). Again, just let Scott or myself know if you want us to
help get you running on mailnews so you can verify your composer changes.

Sorry Joe. I don't know why I typed James there instead. Too early this morning
=).

I have a fix for this that involves changing 2 strings from "htmlMail"
to "htmlmail" in nsEditorShell.cpp.

I will check it in when I get approval, or the tree opens.
