572644 - Attachment deletion status - user interface information is unclear

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Thunderbird :: Message Reader UI, defect)

Description

[David Hollman]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-GB; 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 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9.1.10) Gecko/20100512 Thunderbird/3.0.5

I have an email on an IMAP server with 2 attachments.  They are ~500K PDF files.

I opened the email and individually requested the attachements to be deleted by right clicking each and selecting delete.

Nothing seemed to happen. 

I expected this action to be instantaneous / syncronous.  If it is async then better status needs to be reported... ideally in the activity manager but at least in the status bar.

Reproducible: Always

David, do you still see this issue in version 7 or newer?

I don't know about Thunderbird version 8, but it seemed to work properly in version 7.  Granted, I didn't test extensively.
