567159 - I remove my contact permanently instead of hiding column in Address Book

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Thunderbird :: Address Book, defect)

Description

[benoit]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; fr; rv:1.9.2.3) Gecko/20100401 Firefox/3.6.3 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; fr; rv:1.9.1.9) Gecko/20100317 Lightning/1.0b1 Thunderbird/3.0.4

When I right clic and select Delete on an header of a column in my Address Book, I think I am about to hide de column but in real it remove my contact with no confirmation question.
The delete option should not be available when mouse is on header zone, but juste when the mouse is on a contact.

PS: sorry for my bad english

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Thunderbird
2. Clic on address Book
3. Select your favorite Address Book if you have many for example "collected addresses"
4. Right clic for example on "Email Address" or "Phone" Header and select "Delete"
5. It delete your contact with no confirmation (I thought is was hiding "Email Address" or "Phone"  column.



There are 2 functions to be fixed : 
 - Thunderbird should not permit action on a contact when right clic on Address Book Header zone
 - Thunderbird should ask a question before deleting a contact

Your issue is Invalid because:

#1: is your mistake, because for remove or add column to display you should use the column picker on the right top of grid (is standard usage in all OS)... in other words the picker is the last column of the grid.

#2: is wontfix because bug #94407 comment #17 (and then is deliberate).

Stay tuned on bug #94407
