Details

From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020529 BuildID: 2002052918 The graphic interface for building a New List is crippled. The instruction is to "type names or drag addresses", but nothing outside of that dialog reacts to mouse clicks. Moreover, the dialog obscures the address book's content pane and can't be moved. It's impossible to drag anything into the list. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Pull down "Window / Address Book" 2. Click on an address book in the left pane to expose its contents 3. Click the "New List" button in the top tool bar. 4. Try to drag an address from the obscured pane into the new list. Actual Results: It's impossible to select anything outside of the "New List" dialog. Expected Results: I expect to be able to move the "New List" dialog as necessary to unobscure the main address pane, to be able to select addresses in the main pane, and to drag them into the "New List" dialog. Work around is to create an empty list, close the "New List" dialog, then drag addresses from the main pane onto the list's small icon in the left pane (assuming that the address-book's hierarchy is expanded). This copies addresses into the list. The copy is confirmed in the status line at the bottom of the window. However, the list icon does not highlight. It _looks_ insensitive, but it works.
Confirmed using FizzillaCFM/2002080508. Because New List is modal, and a sheet, it isn't possible to drag anything to it. See also bug 58485 on the OS 9 side, and see bug 58485, comment 32 for a proposed solution.
