379740 - add buttons to 3-pane toolbar, close window, open standalone window, and no new buttons in standalone?

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Ray Kiddy]

Really. It is this simple. Go to the menu: "View"->"Toolbar"->"Customize...". Add the "Next" button to the space next to the "Forward" button. Now close the window. Click on the TB Dock icon to get a new window. Where is the "Next" button.

I find it hard to believe that this bug is not already known. But I also find it hard to believe that, if it is known, TB 2.0.0.0 shipped with it.

hmm, I can't seem to reproduce this using tb 2.

I add buttons to the toolbar, hit ok and they show up in the toolbar immediately.

That usually means that something's throwing an error that messes up the customize window's onclose callback, either preventing it from being registered on startup, or messing with the onclose itself. Anything interesting in the error console?

Nothing visible in the console.log from adding buttons, closing window, re-opening window.

mscott - I think you missed something in my comments. When I add the buttons, they appear. They are just not persistent across new windows.

I see this too in Thunderbird 3 Beta 4.

- I customized my toolbar buttons.
- I open any message in new window
- New window does not show my customized toolbar buttons.

Main window in background, opened window in front. 
Compare toolbar buttons.

Whilst this could be considered a minor inconvenience that requires customisation twice, we wouldn't stop shipping a long awaited major new version of Thunderbird because of this bug.

Do you see this in version 3.1?

I can still see this in TB 3.1.9

I opened the bugzilla mail in a new window. As you can see, some toolbar buttons are missing. In my setup it's "Delete", "Print" and "Reply all".

Daniel,

the problem you're seeing is that we don't share customizations between the 3-pane window and message windows.  But if you customize the message window, then close it, and open a new one, you should see your customizations.  Can you please check that this works?

But, that's different than the original reported problem, which occurred when the 3-pane was customized, closed, and then re-opened.  I can't reproduce that problem, and would be interested to hear if you could.

Thanks,
Blake.

Can't reproduce the original bug report. 3-pane window reopens with my customizations.

right, the two UI don't share customizations
