[RickieES aka Ricardo Palomares]

Filing this bug as indicated in test #20 in L10n tests for Calendar 0.9.

The error message is:

Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsITransferable.getAnyTransferData]"  nsresult: "0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)"  location: "JS frame :: chrome://global/content/nsDragAndDrop.js :: anonymous :: line 88"  data: no]

I haven't noticed any weird behaviour during testing.

Please provide steps to reproduce the issue or a link to the test you are referring to.

From looking at Bug 218152 this might be a generic error if you try to drop something not recognized by the toolkit framework?

But the test is just "take a look to the Error Console and tell us anything
that looks like an error".

Yes, it looks very similar, if not the same. I did search for
getAnyTransferData in BugZilla but I didn't find the bug, probably because the
default settings in search form don't include every possible status, sorry.

I have a similar problem when my users drag emails in TB to a droptarget on my toolbar (actually a subfolder popup menu). the call to getAnyTransferData crashes Thunderbird with the 0x80004005 error message (data:no) - this exclusively happens to Linux users. Wrapping this into a try catch does not help it still crashes TB - any ideas for a workaround?

For a test case, install the QuickFolders extension (1.5pre2) under TB2 in Ubunto (Jounty). Drag a Folder with subfolders onto the toolbar. Drag an email onto the Folder shortcut, then drag down into one of the subfolders in the popup menu underneath. TB crashes with this error.

Does this still happen? Is a fix in Lightning needed or can we dupe it against the mentioned core bug?

In a quick check of Error Console while testing some UI elements in Lightning (clicking in tasks to display details in the bottom part of the screen, opening tasks and events in the corresponding Edit dialog, clicking in selected events...) no message has appeared in Error Console at all. So it seems that the error is gone.

Other people with more intense use of Lightning should review Error Console, though, and confirm my current experience. If everybody else agree, the bug could be resolved as WORKSFORME.
