Description Rik van Riel 2006-11-14 20:29:41 UTC
Description of problem:

Overnight (or while I'm at the office), Thunderbird sometimes puts up many
dialog boxes with "please enter your username for news server access". The
number of dialog boxes can be in the dozens, and they're all on top of each other.

To make matters worse, it does not tell me for which of my usenet accounts the
dialog box is!

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

thunderbird-1.5.0.4-1.1.fc5   (old?)

How reproducible:

Let it sit overnight.  Sometimes it happens...

Expected results:

There should be at most one dialog box per account.

Each dialog box should tell me for which account it is.

Fedora Core 6 is no longer supported, could you please reproduce this with the
updated version of the currently supported distribution (Fedora 7, 8, or
Rawhide)? If this issue turns out to still be reproducible, please let us know
in this bug report. If after a month's time we have not heard back from you, we
will have to close this bug as CANTFIX.

Setting status to NEEDINFO, and awaiting information from the reporter.

[This is mass-filed message to all open Fedora Core 6 bugs related to Xorg or
Gecko. If you see any other reason, why this bug shouldn't be closed, please,
comment on it here.]

Comment 2 Matěj Cepl 2008-01-15 14:40:10 UTC
Since there are insufficient details provided in this report for us to
investigate the issue further, and we have not received feedback to the
information we have requested above, we will assume the problem was not
reproducible, or has been fixed in one of the updates we have released for the
reporter's distribution.

Users who have experienced this problem are encouraged to upgrade to the latest
update of their distribution, and if this issue turns out to still be
reproducible in the latest update, please reopen this bug with additional
information.

Closing as INSUFFICIENT_DATA.

{This is mass-closing of all obsolete bugs; if this bug was in your opinion
closed by mistake, please, reopen it with additional information; thanks a lot
and I am sorry for bothering you in such case.}
