277441 - Cannot abort click on Junk Button

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Stephen Gornick]

The behavior for the Junk button differs from that of all the other buttons on 
the toolbar.  If I click on the Junk button but then want to abort (i.e., move 
the cursor off of the button before unclicking), Thunderbird still thinks I 
clicked on the Junk button.  All the other buttons only fire if you unclick 
while on the same button you clicked on.

This is problematic because a trigger-happy user may click on the Junk button 
while still reading the message but before he unclicks realizes the message is 
not junk and cannot abort the action of flagging the message as junk.

Confirmed. This bug and bug 242966 may have the same root cause.
