27085 - Scrolling in Addressing Widget resets send option to "To"

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 21945

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect, P3)

Description

[sol]

If you enter 5 names in the addressing widget, set the send option for all but 
the first name to "cc", then scroll up and down in the addressing widget, all of 
the send options will be reset to "to". If you then send the message, the send 
option for each recipient has been reset to "to". In other words, this is not 
just a display problem in the addressing widget, but rather a resetting of the 
send option.

Build ID: 2000-02-08-17 (mozilla)

Steps to reproduce:
1. Launch Mail
2. Compose a mail message. Include 5 recipients in the addressing widget
3. Set all but the first recipient to receive the message as a "cc"
4. Scroll up and down in the widget

Note: The "cc" option you specified in step 3 has now been reset to "to"

5. Send the message

Expected result - recipient #1 receives the message as "to", recipients #2 
through 5 receive the message as "cc"
Actual result - recipients #1 through 5 receive the message as "to"

Nominating for Beta1. This bug has a high frequency of occurence, and results in 
 data loss which causes the sender to have little confidence that his/her mail 
will be sent as intended - thereby leading to limited use of the product.

I thought we had this bug before, but that it was fixed. JF, can you look into 
it?

Putting on PDT+ radar for beta1.

Rods, Does it has been already fixed?
I cannot test yet because my Windows build isn't done and because Mac/Unix will hang because of bug 26618.
