Steps to reproduce

1. Mark Mail
2. Click Move Button
3. Nothing happens in ~25-50% of the cases
4. ...

The move button works perfectly fine. @ulfgebhardt could you please share the details of your device and/or browser?

[ulfgebhardt]

Its definitely reproducable for me - sometimes it takes a while - sometimes i have it very often.

The effect is, that no Move-Menu is opened. This looks like a race-condition when registering the click handler.

This also applies to the copy button (not sure if always)

Further debug info:

If this happens the classes of the move button (an <a>) do not change.

Normal behaviour:

1. No message selected (invisible): imap_move btn btn-sm btn-secondary no_mobile disabled_input
2. Selecting a message (clickable): imap_move btn btn-sm btn-secondary no_mobile
3. Deselecting the message (invisible): imap_move btn btn-sm btn-secondary no_mobile disabled_input

Error case:

1. No message selected (invisible): imap_move btn btn-sm btn-secondary no_mobile disabled_input
2. Selecting a message (unclickable): imap_move btn btn-sm btn-secondary no_mobile disabled_input
3. Deselecting the message (invisible): imap_move btn btn-sm btn-secondary no_mobile disabled_input

Removing the class disabled_input manually does not make the button clickable

Let's try to solve this. Please share with me the value of the id attribute for the checked box of a message.

Same mailbox, two buttons

<td class="checkbox_cell"><input id="imap_6738e4f407104_5130_494e424f58" type="checkbox" value="imap_6738e4f407104_5130_494e424f58"><label class="checkbox_label" for="imap_6738e4f407104_5130_494e424f58"></label></td>

<td class="checkbox_cell"><input id="imap_6738e4f407104_5129_494e424f58" type="checkbox" value="imap_6738e4f407104_5129_494e424f58"><label class="checkbox_label" for="imap_6738e4f407104_5129_494e424f58"></label></td>

The problem can be forced by clicking the same button several times quickly

I have not figured out yet if this could be related to a silent background update happening at the same time - maybe a test could be to increase the refresh rate to every second and see if that is causing it.

Sorry, @ulfgebhardt I never came across the mentioned issue. Let's see if others operating on the same architecture as you experience this problem.
