440196 - Create new search and filter create dialogs don't work.

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Kent James (:rkent)]

This bug describes behavior originally documented in a comment to bug 439763, which may be related.

When I try to define a new search (by right clicking on a folder, and selecting Search ...) I get a search dialog that fails.

Main symptom: the "Search for messages in " field is always blank, regardless
of what I do. It should show "Inbox" or something similar.

Error console is showing:

no element found: chrome://messenger/content/msgFolderPickerOverlay.xul

along with complaints about SetFolderPicker not defined.

I get similar behavior when I select an IMAP folder, then from the main menu select Tools/Message Filters/New. At that point, I get a screen that does not permit me to add any filter definitions.

Attachment: patch [Checkin: Comment 2]

This patch restores some of the files that were previously included by the overlay.  The overlay itself is still superfluous though.

With this patch, I can now see the subfolders in the search menu. However, they have lost all of their formatting. By that I mean they show up as simple plain text, without any of the folder icons. Is that by design? Is there a followup planned to fix that?

Assuming this had regressed from bug 436630.
