276076 - address error conceals compose window

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

Description

[Bill Martin]

If you enter an obviously bad address (e.g. jdoe@earth;link.net) and hit send, some SMTP servers will 
reject it immediately and an error message window opens telling you that the address is bad. OK, but 
then the compose window is hidden behind the main Thunderbird window (that shows your folders and 
the messages in whichever you've selected.)  The bad message doesn't show up in Sent or in Drafts. 
You discover the compose window (which you need to fix the typo) only if you minimize the main 
window.

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.
