1753845 - Touch does not work in "Send Later" add-on pop-up that appears after touching Send on new email

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

Description

[Jus]

Steps to reproduce:

Send Later works fine with mouse clicks, but on a Lenovo Yoga C920 with a touch screen, the pop-up that appears after touching Send on a new message does not accept touch input. All other functions in Thunderbird accept touch input as far as I can tell. If I touch Send on a new email , the Sent Later pop-up appears But when I touch anywhere in the Send Later pop-up, the pop-up just closes. If I use the mouse pad to click on items then "Send Now" works fine.

I reported it to 'Send Later' (see https://github.com/Extended-Thunder/send-later/issues/416) but the developer said it's a Thunderbird bug and asked that I file a bug there.

TB 91.5.1 and 91.4.1 at least
Send Later 9.0.9
Windows 10 21H2 fully patched.
Lenovo Yoga C920 4K screen

This has been an issue for many months and several Thunderbird versions.

Actual results:

Touching anywhere in the 'Send Now' pop-up simply closes the Sent Later dialog box without actually sending the email. Clicking with the mouse on items in the Send Now pop-up works as expected. Touch works correctly elsewhere in TB.

Expected results:

Same as clicking on items in the Send Later pop-up with a mouse. The Sent Later action selected in the pop-up should activate.

Sorry I don't see how this could be a bug in Thunderbird core. Thunderbird doesn't have that popup, so there is nothing to fix.

The popup is a standard composeAction so this is definitely a bug in Thunderbird (although it is probably inherited from Firefox somewhere along the line)
