Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Thunderbird :: Instant Messaging, defect)

Description

[thomas]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux i686; rv:14.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/14.0.1
Build ID: 20120713224758

Steps to reproduce:

I tried to add more than one Twitter Account, but login was not possible for the second account.


Actual results:

I can only use one Twitter Account in the new Chat Tab. After authentication via Twitter API I get the following error:

"Error: Username mismatch" 


Expected results:

It would be nice, if I could use multiple Twitter Accounts

Were you able to create those 2 accounts in the account manager? If yes, then one of the accounts did not work?

Comment 2

[thomas]

Ok, know it works for me too.. the problem was, that TB is case-sensitive and throws the error "User mismatch", if the username is not correct. Twitter is not as restrict here (not case-sensitive!), so maybe it would be better to change this in TB as well.

Attachment: Patch

Changes included in this patch:
- fix the case in account names instead of refusing to connect the account (fixes what's described in comment 2)
- ignore existing cookies when opening the authorization dialog. I suspect this fixes what was initially described in comment 0.
- prefill the input box in the authorization dialog.
