When trying to use the Right Click menu in the Bottom Right Corner of the Preview Pane, instead of seeing the menu it moves the message to the Trash.  If I use the Right Click in the Middle, Left or top of the Preview Pane I will get the menu.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Have a message in the Preview Pane with text in the body.
2.Right Click in the bottom right corner of the Preview Pane.
3.Instead of the Sub Menu you will have moved the message to the trash.
Actual Results:  
Moves the message that you right clicked in to the trash.

Expected Results:  
Should have seen the Sub Menu of the Right Click.

On CentOS 5 box, with Thunderbird 2.0.0.0 (downloaded directly from mozilla.org, not packaged), similar occurs.

Right-click on top (or bottom) right of preview pane (excludes inbox) message is moved to trash, if done in trash, message deleted -- no confirmation dialog.

I can see how this might happen if the context menu position is slightly different in linux, after seeing what happens in windows trunk.  Delete is the last item in the context menu, so even an accidental double click in that area of the window might cause deletion.  How close is cursor positioned in relation to context menu when you right click, under normal circumstances?

Carsten, can you reproduce?

p.s. I was not able to find a dupe for this.

My cursor is in the same size box in the right bottom corner of the preview pane as you would expect to see the Scroll Bar arrow.
I can still reproduce this myself.
I have updated from "Edgy Edge" to "Feisty Fawn"
Thunderbird version 1.5.0.12 (20070604).

do you see the problem described?

Marc, 1.5 won't be getting patches. We need to know what is happening using v2.

This bug appeared in the Mozilla code I was using. The problem exists for all right click popup menus in Thunderbird and Firefox. After applying the patch from bug 312225, the problem disappeared. The problem does not exist in FF 3.0 release, and Tb 3.0 alpha 1. I guess this is a duplicate of bug 312225 unless it has something to do with bug 404314.

likely dupe of bug 312225, as Sunil suggests.
It didn't land on branch, so if you want to see this fixed in 2.x you'll need to request the patch for 1.8.1.15
