221059 - Cannot send posts to newsgroups in today's nightly

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 221013

(MailNews Core :: Composition, defect)

Description

[Marek Stępień [:marcoos, inactive]]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6a) Gecko/20031002
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6a) Gecko/20031002

In 2003100205 build of Mozilla-trunk when I try to reply to a newsgroup post,
the composition window puts the name of the newsgroup (e.g.
"netscape.public.mozilla.general") in the "To:" field, and not in the
"Newsgroup:" field. When I try to change it by clicking on the field name and
selecting "Newsgroup:", it changes back to "To:".



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try to post a new message to a Usenet newsgroup or reply to an existing one
with today's Mozilla Mail&News


Actual Results:  
The newsgroup name is put into the "To:" field, which cannot be changed back to
"Newsgroup".


Expected Results:  
Put the group name into the "Newsgroup:" field of the composition window, which
would allow to send the post to the desired newsgroup.

I tried this on 2003100205 in two situations:
- classic theme and a completely new profile
- modern theme and my old profile

The bug appears in both situations.

20030930 was ok, with 2003100205 I see this problem too.

I also see this with 20031002 on Windows. But I can change to "Newsgroup:"
manually there.
