307880 - Can't select/highlight default SMTP server in list

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Thunderbird :: Account Manager, defect)

Description

[Thomas Watson Steen]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6

When showing the list of SMTP servers under Account Settings -> Outgoing Server
(SMTP), the default server (the one that says " (Default)" next to it) is not
selectable. Actually I can select it, but it does not highlight.

Btw... At the moment it is not possible to remove it either (by clicking the
"Remove" button) - Is this on purpose?

Reproducible: Always

Exactly which build of TB are you seeing this with?  I can't reproduce using
1.5b1-0904 or 1.5a1-0904, Win2K.

However, this symptom is similar to bug 279497 -- except that bug is easy to 
reproduce.

Yes, you need to set another server as default before removing the current 
default.

I am using version 1.5 Beta 1 (20050908) - Downloaded the offical build from the
Mozilla website on the 10th of September:
http://www.mozilla.org/products/thunderbird/releases/1.5beta1.html

What happends then when you have only one SMTP server left (the default one of
cause) - Can that not be deleted then?

Thomas Steen, the fix for the bug 279497 has been in the 1.5 builds since 9/18, and so is part of 1.5beta2.  Are you still seeing this bug's symptom with a current build?

Wait, sorry: don't bother.  That fix was specific to the profile manager.

[Thomas Watson Steen]

Thanks for replying... I had not verified it again after I downloaded Beta 2, but as far as I can see it is fixed now.
