138302 - [trunk] unable to create mail acct via mail compose window

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Account Configuration, defect)

Description

[sairuh (rarely reading bugmail)]

i've been seeing this with recent trunk builds (eg, today's 2002.04.18.14
commerical builds). NOT a problem with branch builds.

i couldn't find an existing bug for this, but pls dup if needed.

0. start with a profile where there is NO mail account --a new profile would
work fine in this case.
1. start the browser, and open a mail compose window: accel+M (or accel+shift on
mac), or File > New > Message from the toplevel menu.
2. after the mail compose window appears, the new account wizard appears
--expected since there's no mail account.
3. make sure the "email account" radio button is selected.
4. click the "Next" button.

results: the new account wizard dlg goes away.
expected: wizard should display the next pane.

js console output (some might irrelevant, not sure):

Warning: reference to undefined property this._elementIDs

not sure if this next part is related, but i then try to close the mail compose
window (accel+W, or File > Close), and am unable to. get the following in the js
console:

Error: gMsgCompose has no properties
Source File: chrome://messenger/content/messengercompose/MsgComposeCommands.js
Line: 2042

i need to close the window by clicking the 'x' close widget.

Hi

I have tested this using Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US;
rv:1.5b) Gecko/20030725 
and I am no longer seeing this issue.

Reporter can you please retest with a current mozilla build, and see if it is
gone for you too. ?

Please resolve the bug as appropriate or let us now if you still see it.
