389984 - Detach a already detached message result in 0x80004003 (NS_ERROR_INVALID_POINTER) [nsIMessenger.detachAttachment]

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[Carsten Book [:Tomcat]]

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.6) Gecko/20070728 Thunderbird/2.0.0.6 ID:2007072803

STR:
1. Get a message with some attachments
2. Detach one Attachment
3. You get the dialog that the attachment was detached.
4. Now try to detach that same attachment again
5. The Save Attachment File Dialog comes up
6. When you select a Target Folder and press Enter you get a Error Message: "Unable to save attachment - Check filename and try again later"

and in the Error Console is :

Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80004003 (NS_ERROR_INVALID_POINTER) [nsIMessenger.detachAttachment]"  nsresult: "0x80004003 (NS_ERROR_INVALID_POINTER)"  location: "JS frame :: chrome://messenger/content/msgHdrViewOverlay.js :: detachAttachment :: line 1074"  data: no]

Maybe on step 4 should be a message that the attachment was already detached.

Or bug 333904...

Not blocking the 1.8 branch, but we'll consider approving a patch when fixed on the trunk

Is this a recent regression? If so we might reconsider...

Still reproducing this with vista, Thunderbird/2.0.0.14 - Build ID: 2008042104
Along with other apparently similar issue:
-if try to save all attach it eventually bumps into the detached one and gives similar alert. And saves a corrupted one. And not moving to next att.
by saving alone with "save as" it works ok.

+It's different from bug 333904 as that is rather UI stuff or more general where here I cannot really save all and have to save one by one and even can get data loss if saving the detached is saving a corrupted file over/in same location as detach.

This should be WFM as of today's trunk with bug 416284 landing yesterday. (Making the menu options disabled as needed.)
