89950 - Closing Select Addresses dialog box disables part of Composer functionality

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(MailNews Core :: Composition, defect)

Description

[Miroslav Kes]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; rv:0.9.2) Gecko/20010628
BuildID:    2001062815

If I use Select Adresses dialog box invoked either from "Options | Select
Adresses" menu command or by clicking the Address button. Under some
circumstancies closing the dialog box disables part of the message Composer
functionality.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Start Mozilla Mail
2.Open the e-mail message composer
3. click the Address button (or use the "Options | Select Adresses" menu command)
4.select some address(es) from the list
5. Click the OK button (it doesn't matter whether you really add the address to
the list of recipients using the "To" button or not)
6. Do not click in any of text edit boxes (addresse, subject, message text)
&. Click the Address button again ...


Actual Results:  After clicking the OK button the dialog is closed AND (here I
think is the problem)  the cursor disappears (lost focus or what). After that,
according to my observations, following functionality is lost: the Address
button and the  Attach buttons do not work as well as corresponding menu
commands. The Edit | Preferencies command doesn't work either. If you click any
of text edit boxes (addresse, subject, message text) the cursor appears and
everything starts working fine again.

Expected Results:  I think it is clear.

Still need to check the trunk before verifying, so marking "vtrunk".
