305569 - Cascading menu for filing mail messages should not exist if only subfolder is a saved search folder

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Gabriel Seah]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050821 Firefox/1.0+
Build Identifier: Thunderbird version 1.0+ (20050822)

When using the "Move to" or "Copy to" commands and scrolling to a folder which
has no subfolders but a saved search folder, a cascading menu appears with only
the "File here" option. Thus, one cannot file the mail message in the desired
folder immediately, but has to scroll to the "File here" option.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have a mail folder without any subfolders
2. Create a saved search folder under this mail folder
3. Use "move to" on a mail message and scroll to this folder

Actual Results:  
I got a cascading folder with only the "file here" option.

Expected Results:  
No cascading folder should have appeared and I should've been able to file the
message in my folder with one click.

The cascading menu is being phased out entirely.  (I can't locate the original 
bug, but see bug 303150 and bug 302120.)
