316498 - cannot drag and drop multiple file attachments from mail window to desktop

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 270292

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[captain_flack]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051107 Firefox/1.5
Build Identifier: Thunderbird 1.5 RC1

If a message comes in with more than one attachment, I select all the attachments and try to drag and drop them to the desktop. However, only one of the files is copied across. There is no error message. The other files can be copied one by one, so it is not a specific problem with any of the attachments preventing them being copied. This problem happens whether you are viewing the message in the preview pane, or have opened it in its own window.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. View a mail that has more than one attachment
2 [review]. Ctrl-click to select more than one of the attachments
3. Drag and drop selected attachments to the desktop

Actual Results:  
Only one of the files is copied to the desktop - no error message is given

Expected Results:  
All of the selected attachment files should be copied to the desktop
