223489 - Mail file does copy instead of file

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[Jay Smith]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030701
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030701

I recently installed 1.4.0 (on Linux Red Hat 8) having previously been on 1.2.x.
(This problem did not occur on 1.2.x.)  I do use IMAP (but again, this problem
only started when I moved to Mozilla 1.4.0 and my IMAP has not changed).

Filing a mail message (using File button) SOMETIMES results in mail being copied
instead of moved.  A copy is created in the destination folder.  The original is
not deleted.

This only seems to happen if I am moving quickly and incorrect deep folder
levels are temporarily visible.

If I slooowww down and carrreeefullly click and moooovve tooo the next folder
depth, and hooooovvvveeer over the target folder for a count of 1,2,3,4,5, then
the problem does *not* occur.


Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use File button (not sure about menu option) to file a mail message

2. Move too quickly when filing so that incorrect mail directories are
temporarily visible before I get to the correct destination directory and mail
folder.

3. Click quickly on destination mail folder to file message.

Actual Results:  
Message is COPIED to destination, but original remains what it was.

Expected Results:  
MOVED the mail message (created a copy in the destination and deleted the original).

I am using default theme. I have no other special information.  The only change
in my environment was the installation of Mozilla 1.4.  Though 1.2.x had lots of
different problems, it did not have this particular problem.
