280819 - no response to return key while creating mailing list

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Thunderbird :: Address Book, defect)

Description

[Mr. Sharp!]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.23; Mac_PowerPC)
Build Identifier: 20041206

When typing in some email addresses to form  a mailing list, I would press the RETURN 
key after every address, to start a new line.  I noticed that in some cases, my first 
keystroke would start a new line, but in other cases it would be ignored and I would have 
to press it again.  All the addresses I entered were valid addresses.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Thunderbird for OS X, and click the "Address Book" button on the toolbar.
2. Click the "New List" toolbar button.
3. In the dialog, that opens, enter a list name.
4. Add a few addresses to the list, pressing the RETURN key after each one.

Actual Results:  
In some cases, the RETURN key would take me to the next line to enter a new address.  
In other cases, my keystroke was ignored and I needed to press RETURN again to get to 
the next line.

Expected Results:  
The RETURN key should have taken me to the next line in every case, to enter a new 
address.

My Computer's Configuration:

OS Version:  Mac OS X 10.3.5
Processor:  600 MHz PowerPC G3
Memory:  256 MB SDRAM

I have a single 40 GB hard drive, partitioned into two logical drives.  The first partition is 
roughly 30GB and includes some documents and my copy of Thunderbird.  The second 
partition is roughly 10GB and includes the OS and all other applications, as well as a 
smaller number of documents.

I've noted the same on a PC running Windows XP SP2, and TB 1.02. I've noticed
that when creating a mailing list, each additional address requires that I press
tab or arrow key prior to pressing Enter to get to a new line for a new address.
However, if I first save the address book, then reopen it, I can add new entries
by simply pressing the Enter key.

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.
