1740102 - should not have save dialog when closing empty plain text composition window

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

Description

[Otto PETER]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:94.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/94.0

Steps to reproduce:

Windows 10, 64 bit and 64 bit Thunderbird (91.3.0):
Click "Write" Button -> composition window opens
(no alterations of any kind, no address, no subject, no text)
Click close window "X" button, top right of composition window

Actual results:

I got the "Save - Discard Changes - Cancel" dialog.

Expected results:

just close the composition window, as there is nothing to be saved.

I experience this in the past year. ISTR it was caused by an add-on.
Do it reproduce after Help > Troubleshoot Mode?

Same in troubleshoot mode. My only add-on is the vital "FullAddress Column" (off topic, I know, but -please- integrate that as an imortant security feature).

BUT: the "Save - Discard - Cancel" dialog does not pop up if I have anything in Account Settings -> Signature Text (in my case not HTML, just plain text directly in the settings). I should also add that I usually write non-HTML messages. I tried HTML, and the dialog does not pop up with or without signature - seems to be a plain-text-only problem.

Thanks Otto. I agree, it fails for plain text compose.
