If I open a new mail message window and compose some text, if I want to format it, after selecting it, if I press format buttons within formatting text bar, they don't work. Instead, they become blurred. The only way to format text is via command keyboard: they work correctly.

Reproducible: Always
Do you see any error in the Error Console (Tools->Web Development->Error Console) when clicking on such a button?
I see this message in Error Console: Warning: Key event not available on GTK2: key="a" modifiers="accel, shift"
Source File: chrome://messenger/content/messengercompose/messengercompose.xul
Line: 0
That one is not related.
--> Confirm

Thunderbird of trunk reproduces. 
And the button and the selection menus other than the color become insensitive. 

It might be an influence that changes into Cocoa widget in bug326469.

Huh? Do you mean to say it is fixed (that it works now) or that you can still reproduce it?
Status: RESOLVED → REOPENED

It still reproduces. 
It has not solved it yet.

The COLOR choice button works man!

I can reproduce this with latest trunk thunderbird on 10.4. No console output.

I am not going to mark this blocking yet because there is no evidence that it is actually a cocoa widget bug. Can somebody investigate and see if this is really a widget bug?

Works in:

Does not work in:

Keywords: regression
I'm seeing alot of this when I have focus in the text-editor of the composer window and I try to click on the formatting tab:

###!!! ASSERTION: cannot call on a dirty frame not currently being reflowed: '!NS_SUBTREE_DIRTY(this) || (GetStateBits() & NS_FRAME_IN_REFLOW)', file /Users/nickkreeger/Projects/tbird_trunkdebug/mozilla/layout/generic/nsFrame.cpp, line 556


I don't see any of this verbiage on my debug Windows and Linux (Ubuntu) builds....
I'll keep investigating.

Judging by these dates... I think it is related to enabling cocoa-widgets:

Please re-nominate this bug for blocking status when we know more about the cause of this.

Having same sitch but only with version 3.0a1pre (2007112403).  In 2.0.0.9, I can use buttons or keybd shortcuts.  In version 3.0a1pre (2007112403), if I click, for example, the B button, it just greys out w/ no bolding of the selected test. BUT if I use CMD-B I'm fine.

I did as suggested in another post and removed MimeTypee.rdf from the Library and it has no content and removing it makes no difference.  Me not smart enuf to do other fansee mods 'n' stuff w/out supervishon.

NO TROUBLE W/ SEA MONKEY SeaMonkey 1.1.6:
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.8.1.9) Gecko/20071030 SeaMonkey/1.1.6

May I briefly mention here that the other main thing I miss from Eudie is that Tbird doesnt quote the original header or at least give the date and time of the previous content?

Thanks for all ur hard work on this project. Hope I can help in a small way - pls ask what I can do to test for you to clear this up.

Phil

Am THRILLED that v3 will allow pasting screenshots directy to body - one of themain things I miss vs Eudora Mac 6.2.x but Eudie did terrible HTML so my hopes are on Tbird.
There is a fix for this on bug 403232
Depends on: 403232
My patch for bug 403232 has just landed ... so I assume this bug is
now fixed, too.

(Following up comment #21)

The first time I landed a patch for bug 403232, I had to back it out
because of Mochitest failures.  I've just landed another version of
the patch, which had no problems.

Verified fixed with Mac Thunderbird version 3.0a1pre (2008011803). Thanks, Steven!
Status: RESOLVED → VERIFIED
And back again. 20080214, 13, or 12. I'll figure out which later today unless someone already knows and is working on it somewhere else. :(
Looks like mozilla/widget/cocoa/nsChildview.mm rev 1.306 (smichaud%pobox.com 2008-02-13 07:57) is what did it. I reverted to 1.305 in my src and now everything is working again in Thunderbird when I click the format bar.
Jay, can you file a new bug on that and CC smichaud?
Done, Bug 418031 filed.
I've just posted a patch for bug 404433 that also fixes bug 418031 (at
least in my tests).  Please try it out.

If need be I can upload a Thunderbird build made using this patch to
my people.mozilla.com account and provide a URL for that here.

Presuming I've figured out how to do a universal build of Thunderbird
:-)

I just landed a patch for bug 404433 that also fixes this bug.
