Details

(Whiteboard: [PDT-])

There may already be a bug out there on this. I'm using a 11/3 clobber build that include's joki's fix for Bug #17887 and akk's fix for some more event key bustage. I'm trying to send a message and I type something in the message body. Hitting return appears to do nothing. i.e. the caret doesn't move to the next line. If I type another character after I hit return then the caret jumps to the next line.
Severity: normal → critical

Priority: P3 → P1
This is probably related to 17887, assigning to joki.

There is a workaround. Not for dogfood, we will release note for dogfood. Putting on PDT- radar.

This may be closed but jfrancis dealt with it before.
Whoa...you gotta be kidding me! =) This is definetly a dogfood bug. Maybe I didn't explain the context of the bug enough. I'll try again. You go to send a message. You type a line like "hello scott" and hit enter. the caret does not move to the next line of the message. It totally throws you off every time you type a line. I'd like to have you reconsider this for dogfood. Speaking from the point of someone who uses 5.0 mail exclusively today for dogfood, this bug really hurts. Yes you can just keep typing more characters and it will go to the next line but that's not an obvious mode for lots of users to think in when you are sending a message. Most people would hit enter, see that you don't go to the next line and say this sucks and give up. I guess I have a strong opinion on this =).
Yes, PDT team, please reconsider. This is an operation that everybody will run into.
Target Milestone: M13
setting to M13, if it gets set to PDT+, I'll move it to M12
Hmmm..I'd like to try to argue that this is an M11 stopper. Can't we just quickly take a look and see when the regression happened Tuesday? I'm pretty sure this worked in Monday's build.
M12 is reserved for the bugs that have made the PDT+ hit list. If Joe can get through his PDT+ bugs he will look at it. Talking with him today, he knows it will take a few days to get the issue resolved. Of course, if the PDT team accept this one, then we will bump it up.

Putting on pdt- radar. Not mandatory for dogfood, must be fixed for beta.

Resolution: --- → FIXED
well, it looks like this bug took care of itself =). In a release build on windows from 11/5, I'm not longer seeing this problem. I'll mark this as fixed if someone else can try it out and verify it.
QA Contact: sujay → lchiang
can someone on Mail team verify this one?
Status: RESOLVED → REOPENED
This bug did not take care of itself. I've been making progress on it but it will still be a week or so before I can check it in. It's possible for some documents that it will appear to work at the moment, but the bug is not fixed. reopening
Resolution: FIXED → ---
Clearing FIXED resolution due to reopen of this bug.
This looks like a DUPLICATE of bug 16715, "DOGFOOD] Do not see blinking or still cursor after hitting the Enter/Return key", PDT+, REOPENED - currently being worked on. At least, the symptom seems identical.
