283650 - Compose data entry not possible after switching to compose window from 3pane

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

Description

[tatlar]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en) AppleWebKit/125.5.6 (KHTML, like Gecko) Safari/125.12
Build Identifier: version 1.0 (20041206)

When I open TB it all works fine until I compose a new message (also applies to replies). When the new 
message composer window pops up, if I click back to the main inbox viewer and then back to the 
composer window I cannot enter anything in the fields (to, cc, subj, message etc). If I click on another 
application (not TB) and then re-click back on the message window I CAN fill out the fields. However, if 
I click back into the main TB view window at any time and then click back into the TB message being 
composed I again cannot edit. The cursor is there but when I press any key it does not come up on the 
screen.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open TB
2. Hit the 'write' button - a new compose message window opens
3. Click back to the main inbox viewer (unfocus message compose window)
4. Click back into the compose message window (refocus message compose window)
Actual Results:  
Cannot edit any of the fields in the compose message window

Expected Results:  
I should be able to add information to all the fields.

Does not crash the application. Just a glitch.

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
