Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[Peter B. West]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.0+) Gecko/20020501
BuildID:    2002050107

When changing focus to another mail folder causes the "Do you wish to compact
all local and offline folders to save disk space?" confirmation dialog to pop
up, moving the mouse over the dialog changes the pointer to the drag'n'drop
pointer.  A mouse click is required to dispense with the d'n'd cursor and return
to normal functionality.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.After some activity on mail folders, open a new folder.
2.
3.

Actual Results:  Confirmation dialog pops up.  Moving the mouse over the dialog
changes the pointer to drag'n'drop.  No mouse button is depressed.

Expected Results:  Retain normal cursor and functionality.

Can anyone confirm this?  This may be related to 143031, which has a masking
fix.  Is it possible that a similar fix may work here?

I can still reproduce this bug consistently using
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; de-AT; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040122 Debian/1.6-1

It was visible all the way. Perhaps CONFIRM now?

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go into Mail&News and select a mail account
2. Delete some mails
3. Quit Mozilla
4. Restart Mozilla
5. Open Mail&News
6. Select an inbox folder
7. Confirm the "Compact folder" dialog.
8. Move cursor

Actual Results:
D'n'D cursor is shown. Pressing 'Esc' dismisses it.

Expected Results:
Certainly not an D'n'D cursor.

Confirming, there have been three reports -- all under Linux.

Today i accidently clicked into my local folder list while the 
drag'n'drop icon was shown.

Guess what - the 'inbox' folder of the first POP account was
copied *entirely* into the local folder i accidently clicked on!

It seems to me that 'compact mail folders' someway starts a real
drag'n'drop operation with what happens to be the first inbox
folder in the account list.

Works for me. Anyone still seeing this? (on which recent build?)
