Bugzilla 66391: Filtering mail from a POP3 account into an IMAP folder is not
supported. The mail application does not prevent you from creating such filters,
but they will not work (no filtering action will occur).

Comment 3

[robinf]

Bug 138092: The mailing list dialog box says you can drag email addresses from
the address book to add them to a mailing list, but you cannot. You must type
email addresses to add them to the mailing list.

Comment 4

[robinf]

Bug 153943: Filter Rules dialog in Mail appears truncated on the right side
until you manually resize it.

Comment 5

Something new (in case) - "almost standards" mode and "Open a new tab button".

Composer:Bug 136912: Context menus don't work in any editable menu lists.
Right-clicking does not display the context menu, as it should. For example, if
you try to paste a link in the link location field in Composer's Link Properties
dialog box, you will not be able to use the context menu "Paste" item to do
this.  Instead, use Ctrl+V (Command+V on Mac OS) to paste the link.

Comment 7

[robinf]

Composer: Bug 156173: Save Image As command doesn't work in Composer. The
workaround is to browse the page you're editing, and then right-click on the
image you want to save, and then choose Save Image As from the context menu that
appears.

MailNews known issues -- bug 127141:  
Moving or copying a labeled message will not retain label in destination when
filing across accounts:
1. Cross account IMAP-->any other account (including Local Folders) loses label.
2. Cross account POP-->POP (including Local Folders) is OKAY.
3. Cross account POP-->IMAP loses label.
4. Copy News-->any account loses label.

Download Manager
----------------
bug 155429: Mac OS X only - Some entries in the download manager window appear
blank. This is likely due to the filename being over 31 chars in length.
Workaround: Change the filename to something shorter than 31 chars --or, if
keeping the same name, you'll need to quit and restart the app to see the
entries in the download manager window.

bug 157491: If you experience delays in the browser while trying to download a
file (eg, 5-10 sec before a mouseclick does anything), try removing the
downloads.rdf file located in your profile directory. The profiles are typically
located:

Linux: in ~/.mozilla/

Win32 (at least on Win2k): Documents and Settings\[your username]\Application
Data\Mozilla\Profiles\

Mac OS X: in ~/Library/Mozilla/Profiles/

Mac OS 9.x: [system partition]/Documents/Mozilla/Profiles/

Comment 10

[sairuh (rarely reading bugmail)]

General downloading/file saving issues:

bug 28385, bug 147254: No alert is displayed if the user exits the application
(or, closes all other application windows) while downloads are occurring.
Workaround: wait for all downloads to complete before exiting.

bug 84106: Mozilla does not correctly retrieve post data when saving a page or
frame generated from a form POST.

bug 126782: Binary file with unknown type displayed as text/plain rather than saved.

bug 155254 - Mac OS: .html extension not added when saving files w/long names
(on OS 9.x, it's limited to 31 chars, on OS X it's 255 chars). Workaround: use a
shorter filename.

bug 142664: Sometimes a modal dlg asking for a floppy cannot be canceled.
Workaround: insert floppy, remove *all* entries in the Download Manager window,
eject floppy, close Download Manager window.

bug 130993: Shift+click (or Option+click on Mac) to save a file saves a version
from the cache, not the most recent version on the server. Workaround: Load the
link in the browser, then hit Ctrl+S (or Cmd+s on Mac) to save the file.

Helper applicaton issues
------------------------
bug 93173: Helper application decision isn't remembered (using Open for
non-OS-defined types).

bug 154705: User-defined helper apps: app won't launch if "save to disk" is
default selection.

Tabbed browsing issues
----------------------
bug 151163: Sometimes when you switch to a tab which is still loading a file,
the page will appear blank after loading has finished. You can sometimes
workaround this by reloading the tab. However, occaisionally crashes will occur
when you do this.

bug 104778: The URI written in location bars don't persist upon tab switching
(empty tab says "about:blank"). That is, the URL is lost when switching tabs if
the page hasn't been loaded yet.

bug 103398: Tabbed Browser preferences: The content in this pref panel is
incorrect for Mac OS. The second section in this panel should be:

[checkbox] "Command-click of links in a Web page"
[checkbox] "Command-Return in the Location bar" (broken anyhow, see bug 141578)

bug 123415: Tabbed Browser preferences: Control+Enter, when ON, should open a
URL in a new tab. Remember, however, that with this pref OFF that Control+Enter
in the URLbar will NOT load the link in a new window --it'll just load it in the
current window.

bug 141578: Tabbed Browser preferences: Command+Return on Mac OS X doesn't work
at all to open URLs in a new tab (when the pref is ON).

bug 144710: Sometimes the application might hang if an invalid url is entered in
Open Web Location in New Tab.

Download Manager
----------------
bug 139606: The Properties button in the toolbar is only enabled while the
download is in progress.

Keyboard Navigation
-------------------
bug 137523 - Mac OS X:  Command+M does not minimize the window.

Comment 12

[sairuh (rarely reading bugmail)]

Download Manager (more!)
----------------
bug 143072: No way to close the Properties-window without canceling the download.

bug 142422: Pressing delete key doesn't highlight/select next item in list after
deletion.

Comment 13

[sairuh (rarely reading bugmail)]

Tabbed Browsing
---------------
bug 151807: New Tab button does not give focus to the URL location bar.

Comment 14

[Jan Varga [:janv]]

bug 130477 - Double-click on last file in filepicker window opens 2nd file past
target file
bug 134824 - Column Sorting in the Download Manager has no effect
bug 135272 - columns content doesn't flip when setting the UI aligned to the right
bug 143344 - Download progress meter is left-to-right when UI is right-to-left

Comment 16

[[e-mail] (gone - use [e-mail] instead)]

For Mail (biff/notification):

See bug 71105.  If you don't have a mail window open, Mail Notification won't
work (both alerts and the component bar).

Comment 17

[Gregg Landskov (gone)]

http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=146584 - URLs surrounded by < > are
omitted in forwarded plain text messages.  Additionally, plain sgml/xml/html
tags inserted in a message, for instance when you quote a source, are also omitted.

This is the well know problem where html tags are interpreted when doing a
forward inline of a plain/text message body into an HTML message compose window.

Comment 18

[robinf]

Bug 158860 in Composer: If you are editing a document in HTML Source edit mode
and then you switch back to Normal edit mode and choose Undo, the Undo command
becomes disabled after the first use.

Comment 19

[Navin Gupta]

bug 142196 - pop mail becomes unusable if the profile is stored on network drive. 
workaround. create a profile on local hard drive. copy folders from old profile
if needed. 

Comment 20

[Grace Bush]

bug 144492
If a user adds 'AdSubtract' software while QuickLaunch is running, the browser
will crash.  The installation process of AdSubtract (which closes popup ads)
closes running browsers and it is during that time that our browser crashes.

Comment 21

[timeless]

Bug #128961 (Crash with nVidia graphics cards) is fixed by
downloading the latest nVidia drivers from www.nvidia.com.

Comment 22

[sairuh (rarely reading bugmail)]

bug 127182: Helper Applications: The OK button is sometimes not active after
going through the Advanced button dialog. As a workaround, try toggling the
radiobuttons for Open.../Save (back and forth). If you hit Cancel, however, the
helper application dialog will appear fine (OK button enabled) and the mime info
you entered via Advanced will be retained too.

Comment 23

[Simon Fraser [no longer active]]

bug 130359 - on Mac OS 9 and Mac OS X, turning on 'Use secure connection' for an
IMAP server may cause problems getting mail from the server.

Comment 24

[Karen Huang]

For "IMAP Shared Folders" Feature in MachV, Following are known issues:
1) bug 154707: Mac-only: OK and Cancal buttons are missing on Folder Properties
dialog when the text is long
2) bug 158046: Same Server/Multiple accounts: Subscribe shared folders in mail
message works only one account

folders (context, File button will)
4) bug 158016:IMAP URLs get converted to mailto: URLs when "user@server" is part

Comment 25

[Karen Huang]

More explanation for above IMAP Shared Folders feature known bugs:

1) bug 154707: Mac-only: OK and Cancal buttons are missing on Folder Properties
dialog when the text is long

This problem is only occurring on the Shared "Read, Write and Manage" Privilege
Folder -- since there are more text on that folder dialog, so it makes those two
 buttons (OK and Cancel)disappear from that dialog. Users need to force quit here.
Workaround: Users may go straight to the admin page from mail server for setup
"Read, Write and Manage" Privilege Folder.

2) bug 158046: Same Server/Multiple accounts: Subscribe shared folders in mail
message works only one account

Subscribe shared folders in mail message works only one account 
of this multiple accounts.(for the same Server in the same profile)

3) bug 145120: (Mac only): Main Move/Copy msg menu won't go past 3rd level
folders (context, File button will)

Copy/Move menu item won't go past 3rd level folders, so if you select menu item
for copying/moving msgs for shared folder -- it won't work, but it works from
the context menu (On Mac: Control + Mouse click)

4)bug 158016:IMAP URLs get converted to mailto: URLs when "user@server" is part
of the URL

After compose and send message by using "Copy Folder Location" functionality
The received message with this IMAP URL (w/"user@server")get converted to
mailto: URLs.

e.g.imap://user@host/foldername
e.g.imap://userid@host/Shared%20Folders/User/userid/shared_fdr_name

do we really need a tracking bug for everything?
-> mozilla.org

Comment 31

[Daniel Wang]

-> me
about time to put this bug to its misery

Comment 32

[Matthew Elvey]

A Mozilla (Current Version) Release Notes Tracking Bug certainly seems useful to
me.  Makes it easy for someone editing them to find and fix a bunch of bugs at
once, and for bug finders to just add a comment instead of a whole bug.  E.g.
here's one I found:
http://www.mozilla.org/releases/index.html#1.5rc2 , AKA
http://www.mozilla.org/releases/#1.5rc2 has a broken link:
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/releases/mozilla1.5rc2/README can be found at 
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/pub/mozilla/releases/mozilla1.5rc2/README.
(Though the reason for this defies logic - It seems the bug is with the ftp
server, not the Release Notes, now that I look at the URL that works.)

I'm not sure every version of the Notes needs a tracking bug; one would be
better.  *Most* of these are candidates for being dupes of / merged with such a
bug:
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?query_format=&short_desc_type=allwordssubstr&long_desc_type=substring&bug_file_loc_type=allwordssubstr&bug_file_loc=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mozilla.org%2Freleases%2F&status_whiteboard_type=allwordssubstr&keywords_type=allwords&bug_status=UNCONFIRMED&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&emailassigned_to1=1&emailtype1=exact&emailassigned_to2=1&emailreporter2=1&emailqa_contact2=1&emailtype2=exact&bugidtype=include&chfieldto=Now&field0-0-0=noop&type0-0-0=noop
