Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1371309

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

Description

Attachment: Screen Shot 2017-10-09 at 15.03.09.png

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_11_6) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/61.0.3163.100 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

Error found on Mac OS Version 10.10 and later with Thunderbird 52.3.0 (older TB Version 45 works fine)

Our target is to disable the locally collected Addresses in TB Address Book as we use Cardbook Add-On to collect Addresses. For this we use an autoconfig script which disables the collected addresses as follows: lockPref("ldap_2.servers.history.dirType", -1);

Start composing a new E-Mail, enter recipient, subject, message body as usual.
Press on the Send Button.


Actual results:

After pressing on the send button nothing happens and message compose window remains opened and the message doesn't get sent.

The following error appears in the error console window (also see screenshot):

Expected results:

the e-mail should be sent.

This Error happens without Cardbook being installed at all and even with all Add-Ons disabled.
