Status: NEW

(Thunderbird :: Address Book, defect)

Description

[Pieter Breugelmans]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1b4) Gecko/20090423 Firefox/3.5b4 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.4pre) Gecko/20090915 Lightning/1.0pre Thunderbird/3.0b4

The Address Book does not properly handle the closure of the Directory Server Properties window while an LDAP replication is in process. When doing do, the following messages are continuously being captured in the Error Console:

Error: gProgressText is not defined
Source File: chrome://messenger/content/addressbook/pref-directory-add.js
Line: 105

Error: gProgressText is not defined
Source File: chrome://messenger/content/addressbook/pref-directory-add.js
Line: 105

Error: gProgressText is not defined
Source File: chrome://messenger/content/addressbook/pref-directory-add.js
Line: 105

Further more, opening the Directory Server Properties --> Offline tab again does NOT show any ongoing replication. While having the window open, no errors are logged yet closing the window again makes the above errors to reappear, indicating that the replication IS still ongoing (network traffic confirms this too).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open up Thunderbird
2. Open the Error Console
3. Open the Address Book
4. Set up a new LDAP Directory, preferable a larger one.
5. Directory Server Properties --> Offline tab
6. Click on the Download Now button

At this point, the replication starts off and records are being retrieved.

7. Close the Directory Server Properties window
8. From this point onwards, the Error Console will repeat the following message:

Error: gProgressText is not defined
Source File: chrome://messenger/content/addressbook/pref-directory-add.js
Line: 105

9. Open the created Directory Server Properties window

At this point, the error message is no longer appear in the log.

10. Navigate to the Offline tab.
--> There is NO sign of any ongoing replication process.

11. Close the Directory Server Properties window

From this point onwards, the Error Console will AGAIN repeat the error message.

Spin-off scenario:
--> at step 10, click on the Download Now button
--> result: immediately the text Replication failed appears underneath the button
Actual Results:  
The Directory Server Properties UI does not keep track of any ongoing activities.

Expected Results:  
The Directory Server Properties UI should again show the progress bar.
