GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 208472
No confirmation when compose window with changes is closed
Last modified: 2001-09-05 17:49:59 UTC
Description of Problem: The "This message has not been sent..." confirmation window only appears when you close a compose window if you have modified the "To:" line or "Subject:" line. Specifically (as I found out) you can spend 20 minutes writing a reply to someone, accidentally hit "Ctrl-W" (which maps to close) and lose all of your changes if you haven't modified the To: or Subject: lines. Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Reply to a message 2. Make changes to the message body - but NOT to the To: or Subject: lines 3. Close the window (either through the window manager, Ctrl-W or File->Close Actual Results: The window silently goes away, losing all of the changes you've made in the message body Expected Results: You see a "The message has not been sent. Do you wish to save your changes?" popup How often does this happen? Every time.
