Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 390293

(Calendar :: General, defect)

Description

[Denis BUCHER]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; fr-CH; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008052906 Firefox/3.0
Build Identifier: 

If I close the main Sunbird window while editing a task, or while editing an event, I can no longer save any changes. Neither the "Save and Close" button nor the "File|Save" menu item are doing anything. If, after trying to save the changes, I then close the task, the "Task has not been saved" warning does not appear. If I don't try to save the changes, the "Event has not been saved Save/Cancel/Discard" appears, but when clicking on Save then changes are lost anyway.

It's even worse : when reopening the Sunbird window, and clicking on "save" in the event, it still doesn't work...


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a task OR an event. Make some changes.
2. Switch to main Sunbird window, and close it.
3. Click "Save and Close". Nothing seems to happen.
or
3. Select "File|Save" menu item.

4. Close task, e.g. by selecting "File|Close". Note "Task has not been saved"
warning does not appear.
5. Reopen main Sunbird window.
6. Reopen task. Note changes were not saved.

Actual Results:  
Changes made to the task have been lost.

Expected Results:  
Changes should have been saved.

System details:
* Windows XP Pro
* Sunbird 0.8 (latest version)
* Modules : CuteMenus 1.9.3, Google Agenda 0.4, Talkback 0.5

Warning : this bug is very similar to Bug 390293 but it is NOT A DUPLICATE :
=> The other bug is about Thunderbird, and all the comments are about solving the Thunderbird specific problem, but I think it's either two bugs either the same, but I would say that 390293 would be a duplicate of this one, not the opposite... At least this bug has nothing to do with "because the calendar code is loaded into the xul-context of Thunderbird's window"

In my opinion it is a duplicate of Bug 390293. In both cases the Sunbird/Thunderbird main window that contains the calendar components is closed.
