Thunderbird 7.0 issues

Not so minor

  1. Dragging attachments to Desktop creates "undefined" files in Thunderbird 7.0 on Mac OS X - works fine on Windows - [GS ] - [bug 683093] - WORKAROUND - save attachment via buttons/menu options
  2. usability problem: folder and address book panes may seem "gone" after accidentally collapsing them - [bug 609245] - this has been a bug since TB5 just forgot to put it in the TB5 and 6 support issues pages, a patch is available but it was yanked out due to Orange i.e. test failures, hope to get this fixed in TB8 or 9; geeky workaround that requires editing of localstore.rdf

Minor issues or issue fixed in TB 8 or future release

See Thunderbird 8 User Changes Page

(not in order, numbered only for convenience; minor = no dataloss or non dataloss mac and linux problems since only 5% or less of TB users are mac or linux)

  1. Insert | Insert Characters and Symbols... doesn't work on Mac or Windows TB7, workaround hack the abctajpu add-on's max Version so it works in TB7 - [GS] - [bug 690267] - REGRESSION, fixed in TB8 and possibly TB7.0.1

Add-on Issues

Add-on meta issue

If a user updates Firefox or Thunderbird while there is an add-on update waiting (automatic or manual), that add-on will be uninstalled. - [bug 680802] - FIXED in TB 7.0.1

The following is an incomplete list of add-ons that have issues in Thunderbird 7. Please add to this list add-ons that have issues and if you find an add-on has been updated and works with Thunderbird, please strike it out using <del></del>

(not in order,numbered for convenience)

  1. lookOut add-on not yet compatible with TB7 - [GS] - it's compatible now supposedly!
