Linux (2001-04-17-08 trunk) Win32 (2001-04-17-06 trunk) Mac (2001-04-17-04 trunk) 1. Open Address Book from the Task menu 2. Set focus on the Personal address book 3. Select Edit|Card Properties. Actual result: It does not bring up the dialog for the Personal Address Book. Instead, it brings up the "Card for the card or list" that has the focus set on the result pane. Expected result: Per spec., it should bring up the property dialog for the Address Book because I have set focus on the Personal Address Book. This occurs on all three platforms.

Edit "Card Properties..." should be "Address Book Properties..." when an AB has focus. http://www.mozilla.org/mailnews/specs/addressbook/AB_Menus.html

I know this probably won't make beta, but rtm would be nice (was sure how to nominate it for rtm). Address Book is not as high profile as other components, but the current behavior is wrong and should be fixed.

marking nsbeta1+ and moving to 0.9.2

Scott and I talked and we decide to do a simple fix on this bug instead of implement the edit address book property. The fix will disable the Edit button and Card properties menu item when user click on the left pane.

moving to 0.9.3. Please hold onto the fix in case we can get this in later.

If this bug does end up disabling the Properties menu item when an Address Book has focus, please be sure to create a different bug for adding this feature back in at a later time. (or create a different bug to disable the menu item as a temporary solution)

Bug 60370 is a dup for this one.

Change summary to reflect the fix for this bug, bug 60370 now is for "Address Book Properties...".

moving to 0.9.4

moving to 0.9.5

moving to 0.9.6

reassigning to racham

moving to 1.0, though if we could get the patch in it would be good.

Comment on attachment 35975 [details] [diff] [review] Patch for disable the edit button and menu item what ever this patch is, I'm sure it's obsolete.

is this bug invalid? We now have a Properties toolbar button and a Properties menu item, and those work when the directory tree has focus. (at least, when mailing list is selected.) at some point, they should work for addressbooks, as local addressbooks will have editable properties (name) and LDAP addressbooks will have properties (SSL or non-SSL, port, host, name, etc.)

Seth, this bug was originally writen because an AB can be selected, the "Properites" button/menu item is enabled, but clicking does nothing. Instead of fixing it, bug was morphed into "Disable the Properties menu/button when an AB has focus". Both issues are still valid. #1 was a temp fix. #2 is the permanent/correct fix. 1. If an AB has focus, but "Properties" button/menu doesn't work yet, we should disable the button/menu. 2. AB selected, "Properties" button/menu clicked should open "Address Book Properites" dialog.

bug 17230 is for implementing the AB Properties dialog.

Marking nsbeta1, see comment# 17 for implementation.

Mail triage team: nsbeta1+/adt3

Reassigning.

clicking properties now brings up the rename addressbook dialog (bug #17230)
