From Nelson on bug 381553 comment 8: If you click on the button that says To: and select Cc:, it doesn't change. It remains To: If you click on that button again and select Reply-To: it changes to Reply-To and the button gets wider. When that happens the white area gets smaller. Once changed to Reply-To:, it can thereafter be successfully changed to Cc: I have one email account setup to Bcc me on all outgoing emails. With this new set of regressions, the Bcc address comes up as a To: address, not as a Bcc:.
From Thomas on bug 381553 comment 3: Apart from the blank area on the right the address widget now says 'To:' also when replying to a 'Newsgroup:'. Can be seen in the screen shot above as well.

Summary: Wrong labels in compose mail adress-field → Wrong labels in compose mail address-field
Target Milestone: --- → mozilla1.9alpha5
I originally files Bug 381696 about this. That got duped to bug 381553, which then spun off some of its parts to this bug. Seen in SM 1.5a trunk 20070522 nightly build. 100% reproducible in that build. Regression since 20070418 build, that is, the 20070418 build does not show this. Things apparently got way worse (e.g. 20070515 was a complete non-starter), then got better. So it's difficult to pinpoint the exact point where this began. It may have been masked by the other problems of around 05/15. See also bug Bug 381696 for a screen shot and more details.
(In reply to comment #1) > From Thomas on bug 381553 comment 3: [Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.9a5pre) Gecko/20070525 SeaMonkey/1.5a] (nightly) (W2Ksp4) There has been a new fix (for another issue) from bug 380872; But this regression is still there. Actually, Reply (All) always uses "To:", whether mail or newsgroup.
I find that Reply-All to an email puts "To:" on everything. It should put "To:" on some lines, "Cc:" on others, and "Bcc:" on one (the automatic Bcc to me). But it puts "To:" on everything. And it's difficult to change. Doing the straight-forward thing of changing To to Cc simply has no effect most of the time.

Daily nightlies (:->) were still built; but yes, it seems some fixes "morphed" the regressions :-( Yet, it seems thing are improving, on the whole.
Summary: Wrong labels in compose mail address-field → Wrong (= always 'To:') labels in compose mail address-field, with 'Reply (All)'
(In reply to comment #5) > I find that Reply-All to an email puts "To:" on everything. > It should put "To:" on some lines, "Cc:" on others, and "Bcc:" on one > (the automatic Bcc to me). But it puts "To:" on everything. Nelson, we do know *now*: it's what this bug is about ! > And it's difficult to change. Doing the straight-forward thing of changing > To to Cc simply has no effect most of the time. Again, I did not reproduce this with very simple attempts, mail & ng, on a some recent nighlies. Please, tell which build/app you use and which steps to follow reliably.
Serge: When you're replying to all, everything appears on the screen as "To", even if they're related to the right functions. If you change from "To" to "Cc", it won't change the labeling, since that option is already active. The same for the newsgroups. Only the labeling is wrong, and it is wrong.
Summary: Wrong (= always 'To:') labels in compose mail address-field, with 'Reply (All)' → Wrong (= always 'To:') labels in compose mail address-field
Asrail, repeating same thing all over again doesn't help. I was asking for build and step details... *** Anyway, It seemed I couldn't reproduce the selection issue with the tests I did with previous nightlies. [Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.9a5pre) Gecko/20070526 SeaMonkey/1.5a] (nightly) (W2Ksp4) With this nightly, I can reproduce easily. Steps: 1. Reply (or Edit as New) to a mail which has a CC, or to a news article. 2. See that the CC or NG box is displayed as 'To:'. (this bug) 3. With the mouse, click to open the dropdown on that line. 3r. In the dropdown list, the 'Cc: / Newsgroup:' is selected. (correct) 4. Then (re)selecting this value doesn't change anything. (correct) 5. Selecting a different value modifies (and resynchronizes) the selection. (correct) Bottomline: Step 4 is *not* a regression/bug. (Actually, it is still working right, however this could be surprising at first.) Step 2 is this and only bug.
Serge: I'm not repeating the same thing again. What is the big difference between what I've said and what you've said? 1 - Reply to all in a message "that was sent to more than one person"* 2 - Everything appear on the screen as "To" 2.1 - notice they're related to the right functions 3 - If you change from "To" to "Cc", it won't change the labeling, since that option is already active. My number 1 is your number 1. My number 2 is your number 2. My number 2.1 is your number 3. My number 3 is your numbers 3r and 4. Your number 5 follows from the fact that since you change to a non active option, it should work. * - Mentioning reply to all implies that it was sent to more than one person. > Step 4 is *not* a regression/bug. (Actually, it is still working right, however > this could be surprising at first.) Quoting myself on comment 8: > It won't change since the option is already active I know it is not an issue. Quoting myself on comment 8: > Only the labeling is wrong, and it is wrong. Yeah, the only issue is labeling, that was on the summary since the start.
Asrail, On the whole, I agree with what you're saying now. (And that's rather good that we are talking about the same behaviour(s).) But, in the details, Quoting yourself on comment #0 > From Nelson on bug 381553 comment 8: When I go and read there, it starts with [ Nelson Bolyard 2007-05-23 06:02:31 PDT Comment #8 More regressions. ] Then, where, in all the bugs in which that stuff got copied [:-|], it was explicitly written that this part/text was in fact *not* a regression but merely an explanation/analysis/workaround. As far as I know, nowhere; and Nelson himself repeated/answered that this was a *regression*, in comment 3 here.
