289202 - "Sending Messages" progress box appears after sending a message

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[Thomas Vivet]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b) Gecko/20050217 MultiZilla/1.6.4.0b
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b) Gecko/20050217 MultiZilla/1.6.4.0b

Write a mail message and then press the "send" button.
A progress box pops-up and never disappear.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. With Mozilla 1.8b, check the "autosave" option in the preference menu
(mail/news -> composition)
2. Write a new mail message
3. Press the "send" button

Actual Results:  
The message is sent successfully. However sometimes a progress box pops-up and
will never diseappear.
Its title is "Sending Messages - Subject_of_the_mail", and below "Status: Copy
complete" with an animated progess bar and then a "cancel" button.

Expected Results:  
We don't expect this pop-up window to appear.
This bug seems to be a regression introduced by the resolution of
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16360.
The sendProgress xul box is openned while autosaving as draft. But the message
is already sent ! 
Possible fix: clear the gAutoSaveTimeout in MsgComposeCommands.js at the moment
the message is sent ?
