Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Core :: DOM: UI Events & Focus Handling, defect)

Description

[Sebastien Yapo]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031109
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031109

The keyboard always "locks up" while using the address book to insert new
recipients.
It seems to happen in nearly all mozilla components (navigator, composer,
chatzilla, address book) but only the address book bug seems to be easily
reproductible

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the mail/news component
2. Click "Compose" in the toolbar
3. Click "Address" in the toolbar or select "Options->Select addresses"
4. Select a recipient in the address book

Actual Results:  
Typing has no effect


Expected Results:  
You should be able to write/continue a message


Simple workaround : 
    Reopen the address book, remove, then add again your recipient

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
