Status: NEW

(MailNews Core :: Search, defect)

While searching, hitting the stop button does not seem to alter the behaviour of the search in any way.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open MailNews
2. Launch a nice big search in messages
3. Hit the [Stop] button in the upper-right

Actual Results:  
Nothing appears to happen in the first 200 clicks of the stop button.  user must completely close the Search in order to launch another search.

Expected Results:  
The stop should immediately quit so that the user can perhaps alter the search (like remembering to click ()Match All Of the Following)

searched Bug Db for similar bugs.  TBird is experiencing a similar problem in its bug 331353, but it looks to be a presentation error instead of a functional error, and I also don't use Thunderbird because TBird seems to be missing a browser.

Patch.

|NotifyListenersDone| seems not depend |m_backgroundTimer|.

Are you searching IMAP or local messages? I believe the way it used to work was that imap search would generate a NotifyListenersDone in the OnStopRunningUrl call.

Patch

I've tested with IMAP.
|OnStopRunningUrl| is called, but ||NotifyListenersDone| in it is not called...

patch needs help. and adding whiteboard  blocking‑thunderbird3? but would be nice to have in the alphas.

331353 and 370753 may be dupes, just blocking them for now.

this is a major annoyance that shouldn't be in a polished product, in part because the workaround of closing the window prob isn't obvious to the average user.

Switching from Windows to Linux I experience the same problem, 64-bits Seamonkey 2.49.1, using IMAP. Can the behaviour be corrected? Thanks!
