Description Matthias Andree 2001-06-20 14:36:31 UTC 
When I right-click on an IMAP folder, the menu AND the password requester
pop up. If I cancel the password requester, the menu is gone as well. If I
try to use the menu to choose to edit the settings, I cannot, until I
cancel the password requester -> vicious circle.

Confirmed. Basically, pressing right mouse button should not trigger
mailbox opening.
Comment 2 Matthias Andree 2001-06-20 14:46:08 UTC 
Well, even worse, trying to enter a password deadlocks X, I need to
remotely login and kill balsa to get my X functional again.

I have just commited a patch that fixes this bug - partially.
The right mouse button does not open any more the mailbox BUT
the mailbox opening when there is no password specified is still
broken. I have impression this part of code need a major cleanup,
functions there (like ask_password()) have plenty side effects - and
this is wrong.

The patch has been verified to work.
Comment 5 Pawel Salek 2001-09-01 08:53:46 UTC
