At the least do a pass over old bugs and let us know if they will ever be fixed, or close them.
- jstewartmobile 9y agoSame could be said for many desktop programs. MS Office also has its share of decade-old bugs. I guess shuffling the buttons around is more important.
- shakkhar 9y agoExactly. How about not losing scroll position when switching tabs? Better spam filtering? How come threaded view doesn't work for mails sent by Outlook? (I know we have Microsoft to blame for that, but a workaround should not be impossible to conceive since Outlook somehow manages that already.) I suspect the people getting excited about a face-lift don't really use Thunderbird very often.
- jason_slack 9y agoCan't one fork Thunderbird and make it what they want? Or at the very least fix bugs for them? I'm not current on its development workflow.
- bigbugbag 9y agoOne has to be a coder, able to deal with the current state of code and the many changes to come, while having a load of free time to maintain the fork. I mean my 90 years old grandma is a decade long thunderbird user and she absolutely unable to make thunderbird the way she wants. She is 100% dependent on mozilla's good will.
- jason_slack 9y agoyup. I can code but I don't know how conducive TB is for people to get started helping out.
- mixmastamyk 9y agoStill doesn’t save window position on a second monitor, have to use wmctrl. :-/
- bigbugbag 9y agoI agree, before redesigning the UI they should fix the functionality.
