[Bug 326843] [NEW] gnome "send to" doesnt work if thunderbird is open in a different desktop

[Alessandro Ranaldi]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: thunderbird

First of all I am sorry for the grammar, I am Italian and do my best
effort to write correctly. This means also I dont know how multiple
desktops are called in original english ubuntu.

I don't remember if I had this problem before, because I think every
time I used the "send to" function thunderbird was not open.

But today I tried to do it to a folder and also to an archive file,
while thunderbird was opened in another desktop and the window of email
sending did not show up. When I tried to close thunderbird, it worked.

Now, I dont know if the problem is in gnome, but perhaps there is some
rule that cannot be followed while thunderbird is open, so gnome can't
provide his function.


The useful infos
1) I am using ubuntu intrepid 8.10
2) the version of thunderbird is 2.0.0.19+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.10.1
3) I expected the window of creating email to be shown
4) The window didn't show up

Hope this is enough, if not, tell me and I'll provide more infos.
