Re: SM 2.00 / 2.01 mail client drag and drop bug
Can you advise how using safe mode would make a difference in isolating this problem? I do not have any add-ons or extensions installed with SM 2 whatsoever. I have always used SM 1.X and 2.X in its default original configuration without installing additional components. Hartmut Figge wrote: And did you try my suggestion with safe-mode in this time frame?

Did you mention this fact already? ;) I have always used SM 1.X and 2.X in its default original configuration without installing additional components. Safe-mode will not only test for broken extensions but also uses a new profile. In short, one of the first step to examine oddities should always be safe-mode. But certainly you can ignore me.

SM 2.00 / 2.01 mail client drag and drop bug
Does anyone know if the SM 2.00 / 2.01 mail client drag and drop bug has been reported and will be fixed anytime soon? Quite often when an e-mail is dragged from the top right header pane to the folder pane, the drag and drop operational fails. When this occurs, the drag and drop has to be repeated TWICE, i.e. only on the 3rd time will the drag and drop actually work. It appears that when a mail is dragged for the FIRST TIME, there is only a very short period before the drop will fail, so to make it work the first time, the mail has to be quickly dropped into a folder as soon as possible. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

I'm used to use the right-mouse-context menu if i wish to copy/move mails or copy postings. No problems. Now i have tried it several times your way, also without problems. Let's wait, what others have to say. At the moment it looks to me like a problem with your machine. ;) Maybe an extension. If so, safe-mode would show.

Well, I've been using SeaMonkey 1.1.X for years. When running the Linux version, displaying to an X Server running on a remote Windows machine across a slow network (SM running on my Linux machine at home, displaying on my Windows workstation at my office) I found a problem similar to what you describe. Sometime, I would be able to get the drag/drop operation to work if I do it quickly enough. However, if I miss the window, the application just hangs, and I have to kill it. I've never noticed this when running at home (SM running on my Linux machine, displaying remotely to the X Server running on my Windows workstation at home) - but then the network between my two home machines is 100MBit. If this is the same issue as yours, it may be timing related, in that the machine may be under heavy load at the time the problem occurs? ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Hartmut I've already read about this bug on this newsgroup during the initial release of SM 2.00, it's not an issue with my computer. SM 1.18 has no problems, but I noticed this immediately already as soon as I used SM 2.00. I prefer not to use the right click method. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

However, it was shortly (within a few days) after the release of the original SM 2.00. Is there anyway to search the newsgroup with SM 2.0? I have never needed to do that before.
