277884 - filter in search bar not clearable

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 272856

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[Wolfgang Rosenauer [:wolfiR]]

a search via the search bar cannot be reverted because the "Clear" button is
deactivated always.
(BTW: it does not search while typing but only after hitting enter.
I think this wasn't the case in the past)

I can Verifiy the CLEAR BUTTON problem in Build 2005010805 on Windows.  Changing
OS to ALL, version to Trunk.   This is a regression since build 20041204. 

Workaround is to delete the contents of the search box and hit enter.

This is a rather major regression and should be fixed before 1.8beta, imho.

Regression from bug 272856.

Ere, I think you should have stuck to calling GetSearchInput() ;-)

Bah :)

I'm not seeing this symptom with 1.8b-0120, Win2K.  Did something fix it, or was 
that other patch rolled back?

[Wolfgang Rosenauer [:wolfiR]]

I don't know what happened. But it disappeared for me too.
Interesting

I think this answers your questions ;-)
