782781 - Removing filelink attachment currently uploading causes state issues in Message Compose window

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1715405

(Thunderbird :: FileLink, defect)

Description

[Andrew]

Attachment: tb-remove-attach.png

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:14.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/14.0.1
Build ID: 20120713134347

Steps to reproduce:

1. Compose a new mail message.
2. Attach any file (2 MB)
3. A status bar at the bottom of the message compose window will ask if you want to covert to file link. Convert to filelink (tested against YouSendIt).
4. During the upload process, right click in the attachment list and select "Remove Attachment". Uploading a several megabyte file should give you enough time to do this, otherwise you can point the yousendit.com domain to an invalid address in your hosts file.



Actual results:

1. The "Send" button of the message compose window was permanently disabled.
2. The "Your file is being linked. It will appear in the body of the message when it's done." banner at the bottom of the message compose window was not removed.

An exception was thrown in the error log:

Timestamp: 8/14/2012 5:06:19 PM
Error: An error occurred executing the cmd_delete command: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x804b000a (NS_ERROR_MALFORMED_URI) [nsIFileProtocolHandler.getFileFromURLSpec]"  nsresult: "0x804b000a (NS_ERROR_MALFORMED_URI)"  location: "JS frame :: chrome://messenger/content/messengercompose/MsgComposeCommands.js :: RemoveSelectedAttachment :: line 3794"  data: no]
Source File: chrome://global/content/globalOverlay.js
Line: 100

See attached screenshot.


Expected results:

1. The "Send" button should have remained enabled.
2. The "Your file is being linked. It will appear in the body of the message when it's done." banner at the bottom of the message compose window should have been removed.

This bug is still existing today. I fixed it as a side effect in Bug 1715405.
