327573 - View Image, long time out if web page server down

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[Mark Kemper]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.1) Gecko/20060111 Firefox/1.5.0.1
Build Identifier: Thunderbird/1.5(20051201)

Selected View Image for an e-mail. The server for that site was down Thunderbird cycled tring to load images until finally timing out. Nothing crashed. Problem is there is no way to stop search for images once View Images is selected. Suggestion shorten time out time. Now I know it finally times out no big problem but first experience sort of opps. This would be annoying if the e-mail was a keeper for and extended period of time and the connecting web site changed addresses or quit working. Need to be able to reverse Show Image.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Select View in e-mail
2.site providing images down
3.no way to reverse Show Images



Expected Results:  
Thunderbird works as programmed. Just no way to back out of Show Images once selected.

Reporter, does the issue still occur in the latest supported 2.0.0.x / Shredder trunk nightlies?

(1.5.0.x is now end-of-life and the latest supported 2.0.0.x is version 2.0.0.16)
