Multiple drag crashes Thunderbird (17 June) talking to IMAP

Post by glawrie »

Hi,

Can someone cast light on this bug - if I select and drag <strong>two or more messages</strong> from the listing pane to a different folder, Thunderbird bombs out completely.

I can drag single messages from one folder to another without problems. But try two or more and it kills Thunderbird in a total way... no warning etc.

Identical behaviour occurs when doing same thing using Mozilla Mail (Moz 1.5a 16 June version).

Any suggestions (or confirmations) welcome before I head of to log it as a bug.

I'm using the June 17th variant of Thunderbird on a Windows XP system, talking to an IMAP4 mail server (actually Domino but via its IMAP system).
Regards

Gavin

Glawrie,

Do log it as a bug. I have experienced exactly the same crash (no warning) doing the same drag'n'drop message moves in Mozilla mail, with a POP account. However, the problem started (for me at least) before the 6/16 or 6/17 builds that others are discussing. Mozilla sent a TB incident report once; it was TB21043859M, I think, dated 6/14 (using the 20030614 win32 build on a win98se box).

Glawrie,

Skip it. As I continued to read Mozillazine this morning, I see that it is already fixed. See jasonb's bug report at http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic ... highlight= and http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=209593

Please re-read the known issues under my posting for the 6-17 build. You may need to redownload the windows build to pick up the fix.
