160363 - Sidebar Address Book: Select an address, delete and a message is deleted

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Address Book & Contacts, defect)

Description

[Ninoschka Baca]

Branch build 2002-07-30: WinMe
haven't tried linux or mac yet.

Overview: Highlight an address in the Sidebar Address Book, delete and a message
is deleted. I would have expected the address to be deleted.

Steps to reproduce:
1. In the thread pane select a message
2. Then select an address in the Sidebar Address book. At this point the address
is highlighted in dark blue and the message from step 1 is a light grey.
3. Select the Delete button

Actual Results: The message is deleted.
Interesting, if I select the address, right-click and select Delete then it
deletes the address so using the context-menu works as expected.

Expected Results: Since the address in the Sidebar Address Book is highlighted
in dark blue, pressing the delete button should delete the address.

Nominating for the next release because it can be confusing when an address is
highlighted and a deletion effects a message instead.

this bug is no longer valid because the AB sidebar is no longer accessible in
Mail (see wontfixed 178003)
