Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 250625

(MailNews Core :: Feed Reader, defect)

Description

[odi]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050414 Firefox/1.0.3
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050414 Firefox/1.0.3

Pressing delete key while a News/Feed folder is selected immediately deletes the
folder and unsubscribes from all feeds that go into that folder. There is no way
back! Please add a confirmation dialog like for IMAP folders.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Subscribe to a couple of RSS feeds and direct them to a new folder
2. Select the folder
3. Press the delete key

Actual Results:  
No confirmation is requested.
The folder is moved under Trash.
You are unsubscribed from all feeds of that folder.
Ctrl-Z does not roll the operation back.

Expected Results:  
Confirmation should be requested.
Optional: make Ctrl-Z roll the operation back.

I have accidentially deleted a folder with about 10 RSS feeds in it several
times now. I always had to restore (and remember!) them manually each time. I am
now keeping a backup copy of the feeds.rdf file...

You neglected to include a build identifier in your bug report.  I am assuming 
you are using TB 1.0.x -- a patch has been checked in for quite some time on the 
trunk, and I just verified it works with the 1.0+0428 build.

Bug 267109 is about the same problem; it was duped to bug 250625, which has a 
patch, altho it's hard to tell from that bug's comments how this problem was 
resolved.

Ah, sorry I must have missed the build ID. I am using TB 1.0.2 on Windows. Okay,
good to know that it's solved and verified. Sorry for the dupe.
