176833 - Read Message window goes away when text entered in boxes

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(MailNews Core :: Composition, defect)

Description

[Caleb]

I am running:
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.1) Gecko/20020826

I have encountered a bug in the "Mail & Newsgroups" part of Mozilla. It has
occurred repeatedly, every time I try to enter text in a box in the window used
to read e-mail messages.

When there is a text box and I try to write in it, I can get about 50 characters
entered before the window goes to another seemingly random e-mail in my inbox.
As you can imagine, this gets very annoying. There seems to be some sort of
time-delay or amount of characters entered that triggers it, most likely the
latter, because nothing happens if you just let it sit. When I have
approximately 50 characters in a box and try to go back to the message after it
has gone away to a different message (by clicking the "Next Message" button), it
won't let me and I have to go back to the Inbox to read the message again.

Caleb, Mozilla 1.1 is too old for bug reporting purposes. Please retest using a
recent nightly build.
