Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[xolaware.llc]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4

Attempting to use "Save Image" from the context menu (ctrl-click on macos) on
inline images in a mail message results in a very long lag between the time that
the message dialog box with the save location is completed and the time the
actual save dialog pops up to show the save taking place.

by comparison, a similar operation in firefox (performing "Save Image" from a
web page does not suffer this lag.

also for comparison, if the image is dragged out of the mail message to a finder
location (whether the desktop or the appropriate finder location thanks to it
being conveniently in the background or else available via exposé), the save is
instantaneous.

i wouldn't report this except the lag is inordinately long (6-8 seconds).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open a message with an inline image (generally some html)
2. ctrl-click on the image of interest and choose "Save Image"
3. wait ... and wait ... and wait ... and wait (count the time it takes)

Actual Results:  
takes about six to eight seconds after step two for the cursor to come back for
the user to be able to do any further work.

Expected Results:  
save should be pretty much instantaneous, 1-2 second lag MAX.

highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we

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
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
