Strange, since some days the throbber (the rotating thing in the right corner) doesn't stop rotating after checking for new mails.... known problem?

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1b1) Gecko/20060714 Thunderbird/2.0a1 ID:2006071403

Been like that several weeks at least, if not months, for me, Andreas.

[Andreasm82]

thanks pljones , perhaps I didn't noticed it before Is there a bug for it?

[mscott]

on the branch too? Any errors in the JS console when the throbber doesn't stop? I haven't noticed that yet. I'll keep my eye out for it!

[Andreasm82]

Yes it's on branch.

This is the only thing in error console when I startup thunderbird and it checks for mails:

Error: parent.document.getElementById("msgcomposeWindow") has no properties
Source File: chrome://messenger/content/addressbook/abContactsPanel.js
Line: 165

[beetL1]

I can't drag and drop addresses from an addressbook into a group list. It will work to drag and drop to an addressbook though. Is this a know problem? Any help is appreciated.

I am currently using the thunderbird-2.0a1.en-US.win32.installer[2006-07-18-23-mozilla1.8].exe build.

[mscott]

Hey guys, the branch Windows build from today:

http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/ ... ozilla1.8/

uses the new installer. It'd be great if some of the Windows testers out there could download the installer and report back on any issues!

Thanks.

I was going to write that this was no fun, because it worked correctly, leaving me nothing to complain about, thereby ruining the experience.

However, I'm unable to write that, because it actually did make me chuckle: "cleaning up the birdcage". What a nice touch!

One question: Why did TB ask, after it restarted, if I wanted to make TB my default email program, given that TB was the default before this update, and given that previous updates--even of the full .exe installer--did not ask that?

Code: Select all

Blocklist::_loadBlocklistFromFile: XML File does not exist

Would that be related? Other than that, nothing on start up. A little while later I get a bunch of these:

Code: Select all

Warning: Key event not available on GTK2: key="f" modifiers="accel, shift"
Source File: chrome://messenger/content/messenger.xul
Line: 0

(also for "c" and "a", then repeated once).

^no thats totally separate. thats a linux issue that shows up also for windows users also. it means nothing

Heh, I have to give props to Rob Strong for adding the birdcage status line.

I'm seeing the prompt about the default app as well after using the new installer. I filed Bug 345084 to track that.

Thanks John!

[Andreasm82]

Strange, I just downloaded that file

File: thunderbird-2.0a1.en-US.win32.installer.exe 6362 KB 18.07.2006 14:10:00

from http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/ ... ozilla1.8/

But it's build: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1b1) Gecko/20060714 Thunderbird/2.0a1 ID:2006071403

It's four days old!

[Andreasm82]

I just clicked on "account settings" in a message compose window, but thunderbird crashed directly... why ?

TB21093681G

TB21093742G

I can reproduce it everytime.

[supernova_00]

Guys please download and play with the new NSIS installer builds! This shouldn't need much testing though since Firefox converted to this a while ago and most bugs have been wrinkled out. But you never know since TB is different code and different configs.

If I can find some links I'll post them.
