Thunderbird - Can't drag and drop attachments

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug. However, the affected software package is not provided by Ubuntu. Because of this the Ubuntu project can not support or fix your particular bug. Please report this bug to the provider of the software package. Thanks!

Oops, sorry, didn't read the description well... :/

So you say drag and drop to Thunderbird isn't working in Ubuntu?

Well kinda mixed it up ;) I used ubuntu with thunderbird, my collgue
uses Windows version, he reported the bug to me I tried it with
ubuntu.
Ubuntu allows mw to drag but not drop.
His allows him to do either but sometimes locks up thunderbird, I was
wondering if anybody could help. Except get my collegue to use ubuntu
instead which I am working on I promise ;)

Sorry for any confusion it was late for me ;)

Is this symptom still reproducible in 8.10?

We are closing this bug report because it lacks the information we need to investigate the problem, as described in the previous comments. Please reopen it if you can give us the missing information, and don't hesitate to submit bug reports in the future. To reopen the bug report you can click on the current status, under the Status column, and change the Status back to New. Thanks again!.

I answer to Daniel's latest message: it still happens on 8.10 and apparently also on 9.04 (bug #381017).

Dragging attachments from Thunderbird to desktop never worked on my Intrepid. All I get is a dialog saying.

Error while copying.
There was an error getting information about "<folder name>"
The specified location is not supported

That happens also when I drag to a nautilus window (icon view, list view, anything)

Ubuntu 8.10 64 bit
Gnome Desktop 2.24.1
Thunderbird 2.0.0.23

My mail is downloaded from a POP3 server. thunderbird-gnome-support is installed to the latest version.
If you need more information to investigate this problem, tell me what you need and I'll try to post it.

If this is reproducible in Windows please file a bug report on Mozilla's bug tracker and drop the link to that bug report here.

sorry please drop the link on the bug that this was marked as a duplicate of
bug #381017
