The window is not displayed, and thus can not be "completed." Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Right-click on any IMAP folder 2. Select <b>Subscribe...</b> from the context widget 3. Click the <b>File</b> pull-down menu item 4. Note that all options are greyed out Actual Results: Thunderbird goes into a blocking state Expected Results: Window should pop up
I see this - IMAP subscribe dialog is modal - (on linux, latest branch), not sure if it's by design. (You are supposed to finish the dialog before doing anything else, therefore the File menu is disabled.)

That's because you're not using a Mac (though you wouldn't be able to on trunk anyway, since now the menus are removed when a modal dialog is open). Fourth re-reading of comment 0, though, I see where this got morphed: C.J. was reporting "subscribe tries to open a modal dialog, fails to actually open it ('The window is not displayed') so there's no way I can close it, but the app window still thinks it's showing a modal dialog, so the whole app is hosed" rather than "subscribe opens a modal dialog." C.J.: still with us, using a nice current 2.0.0.x build? And if so, do you still see the same thing?

any response? should we close this as incomplete?
Clsoing as INCOMPLETE due to the lack of answers to comment 6. If you feel this is an error - please reopen and reply to the question asked.
