1506719 - Right-clicking on a message in the message list sometimes does nothing

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[costas]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/70.0.3538.77 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

Right-clicked on message in the message list and selected some option (mostly, saved through the QuickFolders extension). Subsequently right-clicked on another message in the message list.


Actual results:

Nothing.


Expected results:

The message context menu should appear.

Interestingly, when the bug has manifested and I right-click on another area (e.g. in the folder list) and subsequently I right-click on a message within the message list, the context menu is back again.

Happens after Help > restart with addons disabled ?

No, it does not; if addons are disabled, the context menu always appears. The problem has appeared after Thunderbird upgraded to v60, so it could be owing to some incompatibility of the plugin with the new API specs. 

The action to hook the context menu to email messages is however specified as a standard XUL action

    <menupopup id="quickmove-context-menupopup"
               ignorekeys="true"
               insertbefore="mailContext-fileHereMenu"
               onpopupshowing="quickmove.popupshowing(event)"
               onpopupshown="quickmove.popupshown(event)"
               onpopuphidden="quickmove.hide(event.target)"
               oncommand="quickmove.command(event, quickmove.executeMove)">

so I wonder if the plugin receives the appropriate events from the Thunderbird core.

If it works with add-ons disabled, you need to find out which add-on causes this problem and contact its author. Maybe something related to "quick move".

Please let us know which add-on is causing this.
