297929 - Replace and Find button does not replace anything when it is used to search an outgoing message.

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

Description

[Allen Schaaf]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4

When I search for a string (in this case (sp)(sp)(sp)(sp)*(sp)) and want to
replace it with (null/nothing) clicking the button finds the next copy of the
search string but does not replace it. Using Replace then using Find works just
fine.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Compose post via copy and paste
2.Use either menu > edit > Find and Replace or ^F
3.Enter a string to find
4. Leave replace string blank
5. click Replace and Find button

Actual Results:  
It finds the next string but does not replace with (null)

Expected Results:  
Replaced the find string with the (null) string.

I have seen this happen even when you have a string to be used for replacement,
not merely deleteing repetitive stings
