24282 - Change not written to prefs.js until exit: remember_selected_message

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 24087

(MailNews Core :: Backend, defect, P3)

Description

[laurel]

Using 2000-01-18-11m13 commercial build on linux 6.0 and NT 4.0
(haven't yet gotten to mac, assume same results)

When you change the (enabled/disabled) state of the pref "Remember the last
selected message", the change isn't written to prefs.js until exit.


1.  Launch seamonkey and go to mail.
2.  Edit|Prefs|Mail & Newsgroups.
    Change the state (enable/disable) of the preference "Remember the last
selecte message".  Confirm OK to prefs dialog.
3.  Check the prefs.js line for the state of the pref:
    remember_selected_message
    enabled state == true   (for enabled state a line would not be shown in
prefs.js)
    disabled state == false  (for disabled state a line would indeed show in
prefs.js)
    Note the prefs.js reflects the state of the pref prior to your change in
step 2 above.
4.  Exit 5.0.
5.  Check the prefs.js file again.
    Note the prefs.js now reflects the changed state.

Actual result:  change to pref doesn't reflect in prefs.js until exit.
Expected result:  change to pref state should be written to prefs.js upon
confirming OK to prefs dialog.

ben, this is a duplicate of the last bug I re-assigned to you.

basically, you need to call SavePrefFile() when they user hits ok on the pref
dialog window.
