272803 - Dragging attachments with same filename from different mails on IMAP accounts

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[Tobias Kretschmar]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0; en) Opera 7.60
Build Identifier: Thunderbird Version 1.0RC1 (20041201)

I have 2 emails on my IMAP account. Both contain a attachment with name foo.txt
Dragging foo.txt from the first mail to explorer creates the correct foo.txt.
But now dragging foo.txt from the second mail creates foo.txt errornous drops 
the foo.txt from the first mail again. A second drag drops the correct foo.txt 
from the second mail.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a mail to your IMAP account.
2. Attach a file foo.txt containing the word first.
3. Send it
4. Create a second mail to your IMAP account.
5. Attach a file foo.txt (same name!) containing the word second.
6. Send it
7. Receive both email on your IMAP account.
8. Open mail one.
9. Drag the attachment from the first mail with the mouse to an explorer window. 
(I get an error here on the first try but on the second it works)
10. Drag the attachment from the second mail with the mouse to an explorer 
window.
11. Open the second file foo.txt. Notice that it contains the word first but 
should contain the word second.

Actual Results:  
The saved file foo.txt contains the word first. That means it is the wrong file 
from the first email but should be from the second email.

Expected Results:  
It should contain the work second, what is the attachment from second mail.

I am not able to reproduce this symptom -- TB 1.0, Win2K, fastmail.fm IMAP.

I do see, when I drag the second attachment, a confirmation dialog from Windows 
asking if I want to overwrite the first file; do you see this confirmation, or 
not?

Reporter replied to me by email (please don't do that again, respond via the 
bug's webpage):

- The error does not occur on my WindowsXP client (TB 1.0).
- I can reproduce the error anytime on my Win2K 5.00.2195 SP4 client (TB
1.0 recently changed to german release. Had error on former english
release too.)
- When I first drag the attachment from message 1 there is a error
dialog: "Datei C:\DOKUME~1\TOBIAS~1\LOKALE~1\test.txt nicht gefunden!"
translated "File C:\DOCUME~1\TOBIAS~1\LOCALE~1\test.txt not found!"
- Second drag from same message drops the file without error dialog.
- Next drag from second message there is a confirmation dialog:
"Ersetzen von Dateien bestätigen?" translated "Confirm file replace"
- But the file still contains the content from attachment message 1.

This report sounds familiar, like I've seen another bug about the same problem, 
but I can't locate that one.

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

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
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
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
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.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
