271257 - d'n'd of a feed into another RSS account copies it, but doesn't refresh or appear in Manage Subscriptions

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(MailNews Core :: Feed Reader, defect)

Description

[sairuh (rarely reading bugmail)]

now that tbird supports multiple RSS accounts (see bug 255473), I can now drag
and drop feeds btwn RSS accounts. this doesn't move the feed, but instead copies
the feed.

1. have two RSS accounts, let's call them RSS-1 and RSS-2.

2. have at least one feed subscribed in RSS-1.

3. drag the feed from RSS-1 to RSS-2. note that this copies the feed to RSS-2.
the articles are readable in both.

4. in RSS-2, open Manage Subscriptions.

results: the feed dragged into RSS-2 doesn't appear.

expected: should it appear? or, should we prevent d'n'd instead?

fwiw, no js console error appear.

I'm also unable to get new articles for a feed that has been d'n'd into another
RSS account. (still no js errors.) let me know if I should file a separate bug
for that.

here's a feed which updates frequently (to test with):

sarah, I wouldn't spend too much time testing multiple RSS accounts. I think
this is a very minor thing that very few people are going to use. As long as you
can add feeds to the 2nd account that's fine.

not a 1.0 stopper.

i don't think multiple rss accounts is a common occurrence at all. minusing for now.

I have one RSS account for Mozilla stuff, and one for personal stuff - friends and so on. Is that not a reasonable way to organise things? And I hit this problem - it was a week before I realised I was missing everyone's posts, because DnD appears to work but you never get any more articles.

If multiple accounts don't work properly and are unsupported, we should make it impossible to create more than one, by disabling the option in the Account Creation wizard.
