136943 - Failures during drag and drop to mail folders

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[Chris Dolan]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en-US; rv:0.9.9+)
Gecko/20020410
BuildID:    2002041003

When dragging mail messages from the thread pane to a folder in the folder pane,
I get the following error intermittently:

Error: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80004005
(NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsITransferable.getAnyTransferData]"  nsresult: "0x80004005
(NS_ERROR_FAILURE)"  location: "JS frame ::
chrome://messenger/content/messengerdnd.js :: DropOnFolderTree :: line 236" 
data: no]
Source File: chrome://messenger/content/messengerdnd.js
Line: 236

When the drag and drop fails, it's usually after I've changed focus to the
thread pane.  A second attempt (almost?) always succeeds. (the "almost" could be
explained by sloppy mousing and me missing the folder...  I wasn't checking the
JS console constantly)

Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Drag message to folder

Actual Results:  message is not moved

Expected Results:  message moved to folder

I did not see this bug in the previous nightly I used (20020404).

I have not encountered this problem using FizzillaCFM builds, including
2002041712 (RC1).

Chris, can you still reproduce this problem using a current build? Where do
these errors display? In the JS Console?

Comment 2

[Chris Dolan]

Greg: yes, I can reproduce this bug in RC1 and nightly 2002-04-25-03.  The
errors show up in the JS console every time the drag fails.  This bug looks like
a side effect of bug 30560, but that's just speculation.  it was bad in the
04-10 build, got worse around the 04-14, 04-17 builds (I'm forgetting which of
those two was worse).  The bug has been manifesting less frequently in RC1 and
the 04-25 build (which is the latest I've tried).

This bug is long gone.  Thanks to whoever fixed it.
