35590 - [blocker] mail events get ignored after using mail briefly

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: DOM: UI Events & Focus Handling, defect, P1)

Description

[David :Bienvenu]

If I read mail for more than 10 seconds or so, all events seem to get 
swallowed, so that I can't read mail messages, click on buttons, use menus, etc. 
Backing out your changes from around 9PM last night makes this problem go away.

If I'm confused, just mark it invalid.

marking this as a blocker just to make sure it shows up in a query.  changing to  
P1.  I'd talked to bienvenu earlier and we could reproduce this just by 
scrolling the mailnews threadpane.  After that happened, we could no longer 
access buttons or menus.

I've also backed out your changes from yesterday and have seen the problem go 
away as well.

Here are the steps that made it so that I could reproduce it:

Open mailnews
Open a folder that has enough messages so that a scrollbar will appear in the 
thread pane.
Scroll down in the thread pane
Try to do something else and nothing will work including the trees, menus and 
buttons.  However, you will be able to move the window and close the window.

as I said initially, backing out your changes from around 9PM last night fixes 
this. If this is the only thing keeping the tree closed, I think backing out 
your changes would be a very reasonable thing to do.
