56555 - New mail message displays two blinking caret [OS2]

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(MailNews Core :: Composition, defect, P5)

Description

[jhp (no longer active)]

Open a new mail message (Ctrl+M).  Once it is open, there are two blinking
cursors:  one in the "To:" field, and the other in the message body.  Typing
puts text in the "To:" field, but the second cursor in the body does not go away.

Reporter,
Can you try a more recent build and see if this problem is still exists.  
2001-10-26-06 commercial build on win98 I don't see this problem. worksforme.

This is an OS/2 only problem.  Seems to be related to the focus model.  We're
looking into it.

OS/2 - taking

Look at bug 147077 for a similar behaviour, but under Linux and with a different
position of the carets.

Comment 10

[Mike Kaply [:mkaply]]

More info on this.

I've looked at the focus code and it is definitely NOT focus related. OS/2 and 
Windows have exactly the same focus path.

It only happens with HTML compose, not plain text compose.

Something must have changed recently. I just verified that only one comes up in
text composer, but it wasn't that way last time I checked, probably less than a
week ago. If stuff like bug 4302, bug 118899, bug 54911, bug 148267 and a bunch
of nuisance bugs were fixed I could use mailnews routinely instead of just
checking for bug fixes occasionally.

Attachment: Bail earlier

Fix for problem. We weren't bailing early enough in our draw code, so we were
drawing an unecessary line.

[esther]

Javier, we don't have an OS2 system to verify this fix, could you please verify
this is fixed on the latest branch build.  Thanks, Esther

Verified latest build

2002071708 OS/2 trunk

This does not look fixed to me. I hit Ctrl-M and get a text compose window with
no apparent focus anywhere - no cursor anywhere in the window.

Comment 20

[jhp (no longer active)]

Very strange:  It works for my existing profile, so I opened created a new
profile.  I press Ctrl+M, which brings up a messenger window and the Messenger
wizard to enter account information.  I entered the info for a newsgroup
account, and there was no cursor anywhere.  So I entered an email account, and
now the cursor shows up correctly.  So I created a new profile again and only
created an email account.  Cursor appears correctly.  So it doesn't work if you
only have a newsgroup account.  Reopening for now.

Comment 21

[Mike Kaply [:mkaply]]

Wait, you are getting no cursor at all?

That's a different bug.

Javier, check windows.

Comment 22

[jhp (no longer active)]

No, does not happen on windows.

Comment 23

[Felix Miata]

Playing hookie from your vacation Mike?

No cursors at all yesterday with Ctrl-M, just the one today where it belongs in
the to field on either clicked icon or Ctrl-M, mail folder or news folder, old
profile. 2002071808 OS/2 trunk. 

Comment 24

[Mike Kaply [:mkaply]]

If this problem reoccurs, you reopen the bug.

If a regression is caused, open a new bug and point to this one.

The new problem is a completely different problem.

Javier, could you back out my fix and see if it resolves this issue?

Please open a NEW bug.

Thanks

On Mac 10.1.3 recent few days branch builds - I see 2 cursors sometimes - using
keyboard or mouse - can not get the scenario to reproduce.

Comment 26

[esther]

Note: on window xp we're seeing 2 flashing cursors in a mailto message window
(bug  147077).  These bugs may be related.  

Comment 27

[esther]

Note: I found the reproducible case for similiar bug 147077.  That bug is
specific to plaintext compose window with a signature attached using mailto
links.  It is not a dup of this bug which originally reported scenario using
Ctrl-M on OS/2.  The original scenario in this bug is not reproducible on winxp
and linux.  Unfortunately, this bug has new scenarios listed (comment 19 & 20)
which should have been logged as new bugs (comment 21).  Comments 18 & 22 verify
this bug, as originally reported, as fixed on OS/2 systems on branch.  Comment
23 indicates seeing only one cursor (correct behavior) with the trunk build
dated 7-18 so I will keyword this verified1.0.1  Note: comments 25 & 26 are
seeing bug 147077.  
I will look to see if the new scenario (no mail accounts setup cause no cursors
in Ctrl+M) is logged and if it occurs on winxp, mac and linux platforms too.  If
someone already logged the bug please note it in this bug.  thanks.
