Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Thunderbird :: Preferences, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050421 Firefox/1.0+
Build Identifier: version 1.0+ (20050506)

Tools/Options/Composition/Addressing, option "automatically add outgoing e-mail
addresses to my:" doesn't work, as the list doesn't have even one member.

My address book has two folders, so they should both appear, and even if it had
one, that one folder should appear.

Tested on clean profile, too.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

Comment 1

[David :Bienvenu]

anything showing up on the js console?

Comment 2

[Ivan Ičin]

If some errors in JS console should appear just by opening mentioned tab in
Options dialogue, the answer is no.

Other than that, I get 2 JS errors on almost clean profile (1 testing message in
it, but no extensions, themes etc ever installed)
Error: redeclaration of const kMailToLength
Source File: chrome://communicator/content/nsContextMenu.js
Line: 13
Error: redeclaration of const imgICache
Source File: chrome://communicator/content/contentAreaUtils.js
Line: 230

I have one more error in my normal profile, but I guess it happens due to some
extension I use.

Also, to be a bit more precize, I see "Personal address book" on mentioned
combo-box, but when I click on it nothing drops down, except a blue line,
probably 2px tall.

Comment 3

I don't konw whether this is the same bug, but I can't change Character encoding
in Options/Display/Fonts, as drop-down list just doesn't work.

Comment 4

[Ivan Ičin]

I still have this bug on a clean profile with Alpha 2. I don't know how much is
this bug frequent, but it is very annoying when it appears, so I am asking for
blocking of 1.1.

To give some clue for those that try to fix this: previously the same thing (I
can't get anything in drop-down list) happened to
Options/Display/Fonts/Character encoding drop-downs, but it isn't reproducible
there any more, while I still have trouble with lack of drop-down options for
chosing address book to store collected e-mail addresses.

[Kyle Guinn]

Only the "Personal Address Book" is available for me on 1.5b1, the "Collected
Addresses" folder doesn't appear in the list.

As a side note, I think the default value for this option should be the
Collected Addresses folder.

Kyle, if you still experience the bug I will reopen it.
