#813 Can't edit account OpenPGP settings

[Jonathan Kamens]

Using Thunderbird 52.7.0 on Linux, with Enigmail 2.0.2...

1. Go to Edit | Account Settings.
2. Click Manage identities...
3. Select one of the identities and edit it.
4. Select the OpenPGP security tag, enable encrypting drafts on save (or disable if it's already enabled), save, and close the "Manage Identities" pop-up.
5. Click "OpenPGP Security" under the account whose identity you just edited.
6. Toggle the encrypting drafts on safe option and click the OK button.

The dialog will not go away. Instead, you will see this error in your console:

JavaScript error: chrome://enigmail/content/enigmailEditIdentity.js, line 163: ReferenceError: gIdentity is not defined

Actually, now I'm able to reproduce this issue without doing steps 2-4, i.e., just steps 1, 5, and 6 produce the error shown above and the dialog refuses to go away.

But I was definitely able to make the dialog go away at one point, so the problem appears to only happens sometimes, I can't figure out the circumstances in which it happens. I thought it was only after managing identities as I described in the initial report, but that's not right.

Thanks, finally steps to reproduce for something that was reported before in a very unstructured way

[Patrick Brunschwig]

Actually, I can't reproduce the error. Are you using the "official" Thunderbird build from mozilla.org, or a build created by your Linux distribution (which distribution)?

[Jonathan Kamens]

I am able to reproduce this both with the Ubuntu 18.04 build of Thunderbird 52.7.0 and with the official build from thunderbird.net.

As noted above, I no longer have to go through the Manage identities part to reproduce this. It happens if I go straight to the OpenPGP page for one of my accounts, change the draft encryption setting, and try to OK it.

[Patrick Brunschwig]

I still can't reproduce it. So far, I heared about it only a few times. Could it be related to another add-on that interferes with Enigmail?

Could I ask you to try to reproduce it with just Lighgtning, Enigmail and Send Later active?

[Jonathan Kamens]

I am able to reproduce this when Enigmail is the only add-on enabled.

Fixed on master and 2.0-branch
