283677 - Cannot compose, reply, forward, send message

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 283612

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

Description

[Steve Brown]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8b) Gecko/20050216 Firefox/1.0+
Build Identifier: Thunderbird 1.0+ (20050225)

When I try to compose, reply to, or forward a message, I cannot type anything in
the body area.  The text on the 'To' button is misaligned.  If I move the
mousepointer over the window, the cursor remains an hourglass with an arrow. 
With a reply or forward, even though it copies the subject, the title bar says
'no subject' and the body area appears empty (original message not quoted). 
Message hangs when you click 'send'.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Install nightly build.
2.  Receive messages.
3.  Reply to a message (or forward or compose a new message).

Actual Results:  
Cannot type in body area.  Can't send message.  See 'Details' above.

Expected Results:  
Title bar should contain the subject.  Should be able to type message and send
message.

I reverted to version 1.0 and everything worked fine.

Windows nightly build works fine.

Windows build is NOT working for me -- TB 1.0+0225, Win2K:

Compose window opens with incomplete addressing fields (only one spot), and the 
mouse cursor goes into a flickering busy/not-busy mode.  
Typing an address will autocomplete, but I can only enter one address.
Can type in Subject but not in message body.

This is a regression since, at least, +0222.
