Details
- launch mail
- select a message
- hit backspace/delete
Expected:
- mail should be deleted
Actual:
- nothing happens.
- the delete button is active and works as expected.
- selecting "Edit" menu shows 'delete message' as enabled, but then appears to
do all the necessary command updating. After showing the edit menu, backspace
will work.
No data loss, just very annoying as users won't quite understand why sometimes
keys don't work when the window is first opened.

i think that the following behavior falls under this bug, but if not, let me know
and i'll report it separately:
1] open mail window
2] tab into folder pane
3] use arrow keys to navigate to inbox or some other folder with mail in it.
once you are there and pause, focus will automatically go to thread pane.
(this exposes a separate bug 78818 if you are too slow using your arrow keys;
once bug 78818 is fixed, use tab after getting to desired folder to get to
thread pane.)
4] try to delete with key; no action
using the delete button & delete key as described below works. also, tab to the
message window and delete key seems to work. shift-tab back to msg pane, and
delete key continues working. repeat steps 1-4, and delete key will often become
inactive again.
occurs for me on MacOS9.1 (in addition to reported 8.5), using nightly build
2001060508.
On my setup (IMAP account on Mozilla 0.9.2 build 2001062823 running in Mac OS X
Classic mode) the delete key works from within the 3-pane window, but if you
open a message, the delete key does not work from the message window--you have
to press the delete button in the toolbar or select Edit->Delete Message from
the menu.
Is this the same problem, or a different problem?
Oops, no, this is not the same as 57510; that bug deals with the del key, not
the delete (backspace) key

Mike/others, I can't reproduce this anymore with the trunk 2003-01-03-08 build
on OS X 10.2.3, can you?
I'm lame. Need to try this with an OS 9 build, sorry.

Mike Pinkerton: if you are still seeing this problem, does your experience match
the fairly detailed process in Bug 122854 comment 8? That symptom sounds close
to yours, and is still present in
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030415
I ask because that bug has been mentioned as a dupe of this one.
JohnDoe: The symptom you describe in comment 3 doesn't seem to be reproducible.
It sounds like you have turned on the Preference for "Remember the last selected
message" -- otherwise, there is no message loaded that I might expect to delete.
With this preference set, if I "use tab ... to get to thread pane" (the
focus-shifting bug having been fixed), the Delete key deletes the displayed
message.
James L: the problem you describe in comment 4 appears to duplicate bug 90539,
which has been fixed.

This bug is targeted at a Mac classic platform/OS, which is no longer supported
by mozilla.org. Please re-target it to another platform/OS if this bug applies
there as well or resolve this bug.
I will resolve this bug as WONTFIX in four weeks if no action has been taken.
To filter this and similar messages out, please filter for "mac_cla_reorg".
