252279 - Can not create subfolders with more than 55 characters

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[Gerard Hoogenraad]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)
Build Identifier: version 0.7 (20040616)

When trying to create a sub folder (under Inbox) with a long name (for 
example: "Irgend eine langere Ordner Name_zum Test (CH und Ausland)" (without 
quotes)) then folder will not appear. When retrying: name already exists. In 
the users directory a .msf file with a completly different name has been 
created ("Irgend eine langere Ordner Name_zum Test (CH uneb6c0327.msf") and a 
subdirectory with name ("Irgend eine langere Ordner Name_zum Test (CH 
uneb6c0327"). The same is when trying to import a netscape 4.x inboxes.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. New Folder
2. Name: Irgend eine langere Ordner Name_zum Test (CH und Ausland)
3. OK, but no new folder visible
4. OK: Name already exists

Actual Results:  
When reducing the line to "Irgend eine langere Ordner Name_zum Test (CH und 
Ausla" everything works as expected.

Have to refine: Wenn i put extra text at the end or an extra ) the Thunderbird 
will create the sub folder OK.

I just installed the german version 0.7.2 (20040707) instead to the german 
version 0.7 (20040616), and it reacts in the same way

I am unable to reproduce this problem with TB 1.0 (English).
