561546 - Attachments dragged to the desktop move jump arround

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Thunderbird :: OS Integration, defect)

Description

[Andre Mueller]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; de; rv:1.9.2.3) Gecko/20100401 Firefox/3.6.3
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; de; rv:1.9.1.9) Gecko/20100317 Lightning/1.0b1 Thunderbird/3.0.4

MacOSX : 10.6.3
Thunderbird : 3.0.4

When an attachment is dragged from Thunderbird to the desktop, the attachment is not save/positioned on the desktop where the mouse was released but anywhere to left upper corner on the desktop. It may also occur that this first position is changed after total download to a new position. It seems that Thunderbird attachment saving is related to an desktop grid, although the grid sorting/alignment option in the Finder for the desktop is not enabled.

With best regards, 


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. drag attachment icon from open email message by mouse/pointer to the desktop
2. release the mouse/pointer over the desired position on the desktop
3. 
Actual Results:  
attachment icon moves/jumps from the mouse release position/point to anywhere in the left upper corner.

Expected Results:  
attachment icon remains at the position/point where the mouse/pointer was released over the desktop

Can you give me another applications on the mac that behaves differently (ie drops the icon where the mouse is released) ?

Comment 2

[Wayne Mery (:wsmwk)]

can you reproduce this using a current version of thunderbird?

if you are unable to reproduce, please close by setting stats to resolved, and resolution to WORKSFORME or another appropriate setting.

If you are able to reproduce, add new details, and a testcase if one does not already exist in the bug report.
