267757 - attachments truncated when saved by drag-and-drop

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Ryan McCowan]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10
Build Identifier: Thunderbird version 0.9 (20041103)

I'm talking to a Netscape IMAP server, if that matters. Both problems occur in
0.8 and 0.9, didn't check earlier verisons.

Large attachments saved by ctrl-dragging are truncated. Attachments larger than
1.0-1.2 MB are truncated randomly to sizes in the 800-1200 KB range. Smaller
attachments are saved intact.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. open an e-mail with a large attachment.
2. Save the attachment by right-clicking on it and choosing 'save as'. Note the
file size.
3. Ctrl-drag (see bug 267756 for why) the attachment to the desktop or any other
folder. Note the file size, which will be smaller that the file produced by step 2.

Actual Results:  
Attachment saved by drag-and-drop is truncated. Attachment saved by 'save as' is
intact.

Expected Results:  
Attachment saved by drag-and-drop should be intact.

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

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that

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

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.
