Thunderbird drag-and-drop problem in Ubuntu
100701
For a while I couldn't drag emails to other folders in Thunderbird, which was very frustrating and made organizing my email very slow. I had to right-click on the message and use the 'Move to' option. Which is especially annoying if you organize your email in a nested folder structure.
It turns out the problem was AllTray, an Ubuntu application that lets you minimize any application to the system tray. So until I find a compatible solution, good-bye to Thunderbird in the system tray.
does not work to me either!!! Does anybody knows what to do do make
drag and drop working??
@Max, I take it that it's not AllTray in your case? Could it be a similar case but with another application? You could try disabling any extensions you have in Thunberbird, see if that makes any difference.
I tried disabling all extensions and now drag & drop works
again! Thank you dense13!
Thanks so much for the hint! I really missed dragging &
dropping messages into folders but never realized AllTray was the
cause. I will miss the system tray icon though :-(.
I have the same problem, but in my case I don't have alltray
installed. The problem came out after playing around a lot with
compiz settings.
I noticed that this would happen when an email was coming in, and
the little fade-in box would appear on the bottom of my screen. You
just have to wait until the box goes away.
Problem vanished when I deactivated the AddOn German Dictionary
"Wörterbuch Deutsch (de-DE), Hunspell-unterstützt." Thank you very
much for the hint!
