238692 - Stop button stops working when retrieving mail.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 239616

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Matjaz Kukar]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7b) Gecko/20040316
Build Identifier: Mozilla Thunderbird 0.5 (20040207)

When you are retrieving mail you can usually stop the process with the stop button.
However, if you go in menus or dialogs (properties) while retrieving mail, the
stop button is disabled and is not enabled after you finish. Thunderbird needs
to be restarted for the stop button to work again. (Deterministic bug with 0.5
on WinXP).

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click Get mail 
2. Click on Edit menu


Actual Results:  
The stop button is now disabled and cannot be reenabled

Expected Results:  
Keep the stop button enabled all the time.

With 0.8, it doesn't seem to work at all.

Meant 0.6, of course

Stop button does not work at all in Thunderbird 0.6-0.8. :-(

Please fix this, as this is a very elementary UI element and function that 
simply does NOTHING.

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.
