259317 - When creating folder with names in Khmer (Unicode) Thunderbird wrongly says they already exist

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[Javier SOLA]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040707 Firefox/0.9.2
Build Identifier: Thunderbird 0.7.3

Sometimes, when creating mail folders with names in Khmer language (Unicode
range 1780 to 17FF), Thunderbird will say that the names already exists
(wrongly). Other times the folders can be created without any problem.



Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set up Khmer in the computer, with fonts and Keyboard.
2. Select the Khmer fonts for Thunderbird in intl.css
3. Attempt to create a mail folder (or subfolder) with a name in Khmer. In some
cases it will wrongly say that the name already exists, and not allow the
creation of the folder

Actual Results:  
The process of mail folder creation is sometimes blocked.

Expected Results:  
The process of creating a mail folder, when the name is not repeated should work
in all cases, for all languages.

This bug might relate to another problem (will report it separatelly) in which
sometimes, not always, folders with Khmer names cannot be erased.
