53900 - delete local mail folder (via Delete button) does not work

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect, P3)

Description

[nhottanscp]

I used 2000-09-22-13-M18 win32 build.
In 3-pane mail window, select a folder and hit delete icon in the toolbar.
The folder is not deleted, the delete icon is dimmed.

possible dup of 43349?

Comment 2

[nhottanscp]

No, 43349 is about non ascii folder name.
I filed this bug testing all 7 bit ascii folder names (e.g. "test").

Deleting local folder does indeed work if using the menu.  Doesn't work by
toolbar button; the delete button dims after clicking it and nothing ever
happens.

This may be a duplicate of some other toolbar button bug, I don't know...

Reassigning to saari.  I bet this broke the same day that 53861 broke.  What is
happening is that the toolbar buttons are stealing focus from the trees.  This
didn't use to happen.  When the focus is taken away, the controller for the
folder pane is never called and hence delete folder doesn't work.  the menu item
and the delete key work fine because they don't steal focus.

I'm going to nominate this for beta3.  I've already seen another instance of
this.  If I'm in Composer, select some text and click the Link button, nothing
happens.  However, if I use the menuitem it works.  I think this will affect any
toolbar button that depends upon focus to make it work.

This isn't my problem, this is a skin issue. Reassigning to Hangas

Sending to Joe.  I think this may have been fixed.

Comment 9

this seems to be working now for all of the cases I know about (delete folder, 
link in Composer, and deleting an address card).

Verified Fixed with win32 mozilla trunk build 100204, linux mozilla trunk build
100208 and mac mozilla trunk build 100208. Delete icon/button on toolbar deletes
local folders, link in composer linkifies selected text and deleting address
book card works. Setting bug status to Verified and removing the vtrunk keyword.
 status was already Verified actually, but not it's _really_ verified :)
