Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Thunderbird :: Folder and Message Lists, defect)

Description

[Pat Drummond]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.5) Gecko/2008120122 Firefox/3.0.5
Build Identifier: 2.0.0.19

MENU Edit | Undo (CTRL+Z) does not unmove a message I moved by dragging with my mouse. CTRL+Z does 'unmove' a message moved using the MENU Message | Move function.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Drag'n'drop to move a message from inbox to another folder with a mouse. 
2. Key CTRL+Z (undo)  
3. MENU Edit | Undo is greyed out.
Actual Results:  
Nothing.

Expected Results:  
Message should have been 'unmoved'.

Unmove works if message was moved using menu commands.

Pat, I believe this works on the development branch. if it fails in v2 it won't be fixed there.  are you able to try the beta? 
if you are, backup your profile before using

Too many undo bugs were fixed in the last year to tell you what fixed this, if it is indeed fixed on the development branch. My best advice if you want to ensure this is fixed for you in version 3, is to test a development release and provide feedback.  Please test in safe mode per http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode

I have run firefox in safe mode and a dialog displays prompting for it but I tried the same with Thunderbird and the nightly and I do not see it is different than regular mode. Thunderbird.exe -safe-mode; still looks like regular Thunderbird. I tried moving message to folder and unmoving. Both key command and menu selection worked. Moved from inbox to folder. Unmove returns message to inbox.
Move msg from folder to inbox - Ctrl-Z moves it back to folder.
