I'm not experiencing this on Firefox 1.5.0.1 on XP. Can anyone else confirm that this is an issue for Firefox 1.0.7 generally? Firefox on all linux? All browsers on linux? Michele, could you nail this down a little more for me please? If you can tie it definitely to an option, browser or OS, I could probably fix it.

Hi there,

(I searched for similar issues in the archives and found nothing matching, so here we go..)

I was giving Roundcube (anonymous CVS from today) a spin and accidentally noticed the behaviour specified in the subject.

If you left-click on the Inbox folder while pressing either the Ctrl or the Shift key a new window opens up (well, depending on the browser configuration) and the session becomes expired.

This is on a clean, updated Debian Sarge system on today's anonymous cvs (server), while using Firefox 1.0.7 (client).

Hi Charles,

I can reproduce with the following:

• Epiphany on linux (1.8.2)
• Firefox 1.5.0.1 on Windows 2000
• Firefox 1.5.0.1 on Linux

since I don't think I have any special settings on either Firefox or Roundcube, I wonder if I am really the only one who stumbled into this.

Well, Firefox's default behavior is to open a new window or tab when shift or ctrl is pressed while left-clicking on a link. *However* this behavior should be disabled in rc with this code starting on line 261 of app.js:

this.click_on_list = function(e) { if (!e) e = window.event;

 this.in_message_list = true;
 e.cancelBubble = true;
 if (e.stopPropagation) e.stopPropagation();
 };

I can test it on Firefox 1.5.0.1 on Win 2000 tonight to see if it acts differently than it does on XP.

Thank you for testing Aurélien, would you mind posting what your browser and OS (including versions) were in this test?

-Charles

Oups, just forgot: WinXP SP2 with Firefox 1.5.0.1. Not clean install, a lot of extensions on top of it.

As fas as I know shift-click will just open the html link in a new window or tab. Because all links in RoundCube are filled with "#..." the link is not valid. One solution is to completely avoid this (using javascript) or, even better, to write valid urls to the mailbox links that would correctly open the clicked mailbox in a new window.

This is embarrassing, I just reread the e-mail , and realized theya re talking about the message folders and not the message list. I am now seeing this problem, and am experiencing the same thing. I still don't think the folders lists should be turned into valid HTML links though!

boy is my face red.

First of all, I can't reproduce this problem on Win XP on Firefox 1.5 or 1.0.7, so I'm guessing it's either somehow a Win 2000/linux problem (seems unlikely) or a firefox configuration? I don't know, but I can't fix it if I can't reproduce it.

Thomas, I know you're one of the original developers (the original developer?) but if we really want to adhere to this from the website:

"RoundCube Webmail is a browser-based multilingual IMAP client with an application-like user interface."

We should definitely avoid making the message lists into valid HTML links. Although there would be some immediate benefit for people expecting web-like behavior (single click on a message to open it, ctrl-click to open it in a new window, etc), it would immediately shift the direction of development from building an "application-like" interface to building a "web-like" interface, which I think would undermine the greatness and potential greatness of roundcube. In fact, I'm an advocate for removing the HTML links that are already in the message list (the e-mail addresses) to further adhere to an "application-like" interface, and I'm starting to come around on the idea of javascript context menus (that could be easily disabled).
