683501 - Address/subject cannot be entered

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

Description

[[e-mail]]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:6.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/6.0
Build ID: 20110811165603

Steps to reproduce:

Tried to manually enter an e-mail address (vice selecting from the address book) and/or change the subject line when forwarding an e-mail.


Actual results:

The dialog boxes for the addressees and subject line would not accept manually entered text. Addressees already in the address book could still be selected and entered, and the body of the e-mail could be edited.

This only happens when certain e-mails are opened for forwarding, but it is consistent that it happens with those e-mails every time (usually when forwarding e-mails sent to me by AOL users, but a handful of other domains are affected as well). Doesn't matter the content - it can be all text, or include graphics.

Once the problem happens, the addressee and subject dialog boxes are no longer functional after that for any e-mail, even ones I generate. Only re-starting Thunderbird fixes the problem.


Expected results:

The dialog boxes should be functional in all situations.
