Using 2000-10-30-08 mn6 commercial branch build Mac OS 9.0
mac only, works with Win32 build and linux build
I can only drag once from address book name/card list to a mailing list window,
sometimes can't drag any.
1. From mail window, Tasks|Address Book.
2. Click New List, give list a name.
3. Drag a name/card from the address book to the mail list window.
Note: this first address drag & drop sometimes works, sometimes doesn't
4. Drag another name from the address book to the mail list window.
Result: Doesn't work.
Note: typing names in the mail list window works and you can add
several.
Actual result: can only us Drag&Drop from address book maximum of once,
sometimes none.
Expected: can drag&drop as many names as I want from address book to
mail list.
This is a regression.

When one opens the list editor on the 2002030508 win2k release, the box is
MODAL!!!! If you click on the main address book to get an address, it beeps.
So mailing lists are impossible to create now.

Nominating for MachV, this is a very visible regression that basically breaks a
major feature. The text in the window even tells you to drag addresses into it,
but that is impossible. Shipping with this broken will be sufficient reason for
mailing list users to shun the entire product. On Mac it is worse, because it
is application-modal (not just window-modal), so you are prevented from using
the entire browser. On MacOS X, you can't even *see* the addresses, because the
modal dialog pane drops down on top of them. That means you have to type the
addresses from memory, or close it until you can get back in with an external
list. We should consider allowing copy/paste, and prefilling the new list with
the selection in the future, but can't we fix this basic funcationality for MachV?

Isn't it as easy as making the box non-modal again? I have been complaining
about this since they ruined it, and to NO avail.
I pointed out in the "can't import mailing list" bug (62084) exactly when this
happened.
In that bug I got several responses that claimed that it was easy to edit lists,
but it is in fact impossible.
At the time the box went modal, there were still a bunch of bugs concerning the
editing box. It would not scroll properly and also put in blank lines.
In my opinion, this is a blocker for a release.

Sol Spitzer at Netscape is dead set against making the address list window
non-modal. In that case, the solution is to add a second pane to the modal
window that has the address book list available for dragging into the list pane.
In this way, Sol's objection (that people could go and muck things up in the
main window while the address list editor was open) and mine (that you HAVE to
see and access both the list and the address book at once) would both be satisfied.
I also feel that this is essential to the 1.0 release. People rely upon mailing
lists, and they must be createable and editable in a nice manner.

Coming back to my comment #32, it is not clear what evil will occur if the "add

In the meanwhile, the users suffer from unworkable mailing lists.
I do note that before the dialog was made modal, it had severe problems. The
scrolling didnt work properly, and there would often be blank places in the list.
I propose turning off the modal switch until a better solution is found.

I am new to Bugzilla so please pardon any gaffes I make.
I'm having this problem with Mozilla 1.21 which I've been using pretty much ever
since it came out on a variety of machines mostly with Win98. At different times
I've had problems with the address book drag and drop, and other times I've had
problems with Mozilla locking up, or refusing to load at all, or refusing to
start mail or the AB after the browser is running. I've come to the conclusion
that this is no coincidence, that the AB problems are at the root of all of
this. Every time I run into the problem it seems to get more severe.
I recently uninstalled Mozilla, deleted old profiles (saving the data), and made
a clean install. I didn't import the old AB for a while to make sure everything
was stable; I just added names to the clean AB as needed. After a few weeks of
stable operation I imported the AB with lists and everything was fine; I even
sent out a message to various lists. Then tonight I tried to drag/drop a new
name into a mailing list. After a few attempts Mozilla locked up, and though I
can start up the browser I can't start up Mail from the Start menu, a shortcut
on the desktop, or the button on the bottom of the browser window. Ditto with
the AB button. So I guess I will try a clean reinstall again. This is a Win98
box, the one where my lists are the largest and the most dynamic and the one
with the most problems.
I was hoping that moving up to 1.4 or 1.5b or Thunderbird would fix things, but
judging from the many, many bug reports I've seen about D&D in the AB, this
problem has been around for a long time on all platforms and there has been no
progress fixing it. Most of the bugs get reported as duplicates and most of the
others get closed with the "works for me" treatment.
Obviously this is a subtle and/or intermittent bug and I'm frustrated enough
that I'm ready to do some methodical debugging, but I'm not sure how to proceed.
If anyone can give me some suggestions, I'd appreciate it.

This bug morphed, unacceptably in my view, starting at comment 27. That problem
is/was entirely different from the (Mac-only) problem originally reported here.
The "new" problem, brought on by the "fix" for bug 128124, is that the mailing
list dialog is modal (and is present on all platforms); the actual bug for
fixing that problem is bug 135126 (and see also bug 115904). Everyone who is
watching this bug thinking it's about that issue is advised to watch 135126
instead.
Since the modal dialog effectively prevents anyone from testing if the original
bug still exists, I'll be adding a dependency.

Sorry - this is not Mac-based, it's Windows. And apparently the
solution is to hold CTRL while dragging.

This is a major annoyance causing duplicate card creation in lieu of

Miles, both click and shift+click drag WFM in windows XP. (ctrl is no
longer needed
Does AB entry you drag have both an email address and display name? (bug 248786)
Is mailing list in the same address book as the card?
Are you dragging more than one address at a time?
Are there any special characters in the name or email address?

Is my problem related or different? Using TB2.0.0.9, WinXP,SP2, cannot
always drag an entry from the list of address books (and mailing lists)

buggy.
Have discovered that if an entry does not contain an email address, it
probably will not copy, although it may. For instance today attempted
to drag XXX entry from the PAB to a mailing list below it. When it did
not contain an email address it would not drag. If an email address
were added, it would drag. The same occurred when dragging from the
PAB to another address book.
It must be said that this is not as it occurs 100% of the time, but
mostly. Have also found that frequently if drag from PAB to another AB,
it is moved, not copied. However, if Control/Drag it is copied.

this issue is bug 248786

can someone determine if that still happens?

as a result of the blocker, as a practical matter, I don't see much
value to keeping this open, because prior to comment 27 there is no
testcase, let alone a reduced testcase, and no clear steps that others
can replicate. And no one from that era (except James I think) seems
interested enough to speak up.
Unless we want this to be the cesspool for all drag and drop bugs with
no testcases or poorly formed reports - in which case the currently
vague summary needs improvement. But given this bug's ragged long
history I'd sooner pick a newer, shorter, more clearly worded bug.

The address book functionality is STILL much worse than on Netscape.
Now, to add names to a list, you have to know the name and start typing
it. Previously, the list box was in a separate window, and you could
drag names from the main list. It would seem to me to be easy to restore
this functionality.
In addition, the mailing lists are not exported when you export the
address book!

WinXP, TB 3.1.6, this 10-year old bug persists. Believe it was OK a
couple of versions back, but then regressed. Cannot copy or move from
PAB to a list or another AB, or back from another AB to the PAB or a
list under the PAB. Have tried dragging, cntrl/drag, cntrl/shift/drag,
etc.
What does it take to have this bug assigned?

Evidently the upgrade to TB3.1.7 somehow partially cleaned it up. Today
using the full screen AB I could copy (cntrl/drag) several cards from
the PAB to a list under the PAB and to other AB's.
However, out of about 12, 2 will not copy or move (cntrl/drag or drag) from the PAB to a list under the PAB, but they did copy to other AB's. Tried several times including rebooting, but no change for those 2. One has a valid email address & the other has a dummy email address -- xxxx at xxx.com. There
may be may more of these difficulties, but I ran out of time before checking all addresses.
Could this be caused by a bug in those cards? I'll try making a new
duplicate card in the PAB & see if that works, unless someone has
another suggestion.

Actually, on a Mac, it is impossible to drag and drop because the list
is attached to the address book header. This makes lots of things hard.
The list should be in its own window. Forget about the Mac look and feel
guidelines. It kills the functionality.

In WinXP copied the 2 address cards that would not copy earlier today
and one would now copy from PAB to a PAB list and the other would not.
Both will copy to another AB. Also added a new card to the PAB and it
will copy to another AB, but not to a list under PAB. Apparently
drag/copy remains broken.
