144516 - offline/front end: Password login window text area not enabled 1st time you go offline & haven't logged into the account

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

This is using 2002-05-12-20-XX-PR1 on NT 4.0.
I don't remember seeing this on branch/trunk build but haven't
had time to regress this.

If you try to go offline and download your mail mesgs via
icon or download/sync now and you have either a pop acccount
or imap mail account w/folders selected for download but you
HAVEN'T logged into (pop/imap) the password login window
will appear. But you try to type into text area of the field
and you can't. you have to cancel and retry and you will be
able to download.

This only happens when you initially create the mail accounts 1st
time and try do download/go offline.
All subsequent tries afterwards, you are able to type into the
password field.

Steps to reproduce:
1.Create a imap account.
2.Log into imap account
3.Now create either a pop or 2nd imap mail account
4.Do not login to pop or 2nd mail acccount.
5.Bring up download/sync now window
6.Check mail mesgs box and select folders for both imap mail
  acccounts to download, and work offline check box
7.click ok
8.Password login window for pop and 2nd mail account should come up

result: cant type into the text field until you bring up another
        application like notepad so it comes up to front of the window
        and then go back to mozilla and you will be able to type
        in password field.
        I think if you eventually wait enough (1 min?), you will
        be able to type in the field.

expected: to be able to immediately type into field.

You click cancel or close the password window, you still are able
to download from the first imap mail account you logged into.
if you go back online and repeat, you don't see this problem.
Only happens the first time a mail account is created and you try
to download from the newly created account without loggin into it
first.

there's one more test case.
start w/aol, login, add webmail acnt then login and you will
see you can't type in to password field.

I also noticed this bug when on webmail for my school. In later builds 
(20251298) When I go to http://webmail.psu.edu and click on the box to bring up 
the password, you are unable to enter anything to username or password. The 
only way I found to fix this is to close down mozilla completely and restart. 

Tested on BeOS and same problem.

MASS-CHANGE:
This bug report is registered in the SeaMonkey product, but has been without a comment since the inception of the SeaMonkey project. This means that it was logged against the old Mozilla suite and we cannot determine that it's still valid for the current SeaMonkey suite. Because of this, we are setting it to an UNCONFIRMED state.

If you can confirm that this report still applies to current SeaMonkey 2.x nightly builds, please set it back to the NEW state along with a comment on how you reproduced it on what Build ID, or if it's an enhancement request, why it's still worth implementing and in what way.
If you can confirm that the report doesn't apply to current SeaMonkey 2.x nightly builds, please set it to the appropriate RESOLVED state (WORKSFORME, INVALID, WONTFIX, or similar).
If no action happens within the next few months, we move this bug report to an EXPIRED state.
