Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 323351

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

Description

[Vladimir Kotal]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; SunOS i86pc; en-US; rv:1.8.0.4) Gecko/20060630 Firefox/1.5.0.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; SunOS i86pc; en-US; rv:1.8.0.4) Gecko/20060630 Firefox/1.5.0.4

Currently when a message is saved (e.g into Draft folder) all characters typed during the saving are lost. It would be nice if the saving was done in background and user cannot even notice it.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. setup periodic saving of messages into Draft folder where it takes some non-trivial time to save (e.g. IMAP)
2. start typing an e-mail continuously
3. observe the behavior when typing and saving go in parallel
Actual Results:  
characters typed during saving are lost

Expected Results:  
characters typed during saving should be honored just as no saving is done
