445452 - File Save Attachment / File Select Attachment Dialog boxes point at same File Dialog instance.

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

Description

[David Jacobsen]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.15) Gecko/20080623 Firefox/2.0.0.15
Build Identifier: 2.0.0.14

File Dialog box from Compose window, and File Dialog from Open/Save Attachment ( from message preview) seem to be fighting for a single instance of the File Dialog.  Details are fairly self-explanatory by following steps to reproduce.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. click Compose message or Reply to a message
2. click attach, then realize what you want to attach hasn't been saved locally from a received email (but don't close file dialog)
3. in Tbird main window, with preview pane open, select the message that has the attachment
4 [review]. double-click the attachment (icon) to pop "Opening xyz.pdf" dialog which has Open With / Save to Disk options
5. The OK button never turns active, and the cancel button doesn't work.  
Actual Results:  
There's no feedback, but it seems to be waiting on the File Dialog that is a child of the Compose Message window.  It looks like a hang because the OK button stays greyed-out, and the Cancel button does not work until the other File Dialog box from the Compose window is closed.

Expected Results:  
Each file save/selection action should have it's own File Dialog instance.  At the very least it should short-circuit and warn that it can't open or save an attachment while another File Dialog is open.

In step 4, if you right-click on the icon > Save As instead of double-clicking, the file dialog opens and works fine. (And actually, this also works even if you already have double-clicked, and the Open / Save attachment dialog is already open and apparently hanging.)

Running Windows XP SP3.
