387038 - paste menu item is disabled but I can still paste

Status: NEW

Description

[(not reading, please use [e-mail] instead)]

paste menu item is disabled but I can still paste.

steps to reproduce:

1)  copy "foo bar" into your clipboard
2)  go to the bookmark organizer, right hand pane
3)  Edit | Paste is disabled
4)  do "ctrl + v" and on your console, you'll see:

*** == Paste (Aggregate) ==============
*** == Paste (Aggregate Ends) =========

The stack shows:

PAT_doTransaction()@chrome://browser/content/places/controller.js:1544
doTransaction([object Object])@:0
PC_paste()@chrome://browser/content/places/controller.js:1355
PC_doCommand("cmd_paste")@chrome://browser/content/places/controller.js:260
@:0

So we are calling doCommand() with "cmd_paste" even though the command is disabled.

this actually causes

that is bug 484801

Bug 451915 - move Firefox/Places bugs to Firefox/Bookmarks and History. Remove all bugspam from this move by filtering for the string "places-to-b-and-h".

In Thunderbird 3.0b, you do that as follows:
Tools | Message Filters
Make sure the correct account is selected. Click "New"
Conditions: Body   contains   places-to-b-and-h
Change the action to "Delete Message".
Select "Manually Run" from the dropdown at the top.
Click OK.

Select the filter in the list, make sure "Inbox" is selected at the bottom, and click "Run Now". This should delete all the bugspam. You can then delete the filter.

Seems to still happen on Mac, latest nightly, though doesn't cause visible affects afaict.
