72257 - Subfolder is bolded when a msg is filtered to parent folder.

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(MailNews Core :: Filters, defect, P2)

Description

[laurel]

Using mar16 commercial trunk build

When a message moved via filter to a folder which has a subfolder, both parent
and child folder are bolded indicating unread msg when there is really only a
new/unread message in the parent folder.  The subfolder doesn't get the Newness
green arrow, but does get bold characteristic.  When the message is read in the
parent folder, the subfolder's bold style will go away.

So far tried with IMAP, will also try with POP.

1.  Login to IMAP account, Edit|Message Filters.
2.  Click New and set a simple filter with action set to MoveToFolder naming a
destination folder (on same server) which has a subfolder/child. OK/confirm out
of filter ui.
3.  Expand the filter destination folder so as to see the result easier. Note:
even if the destination folder is in collapsed state when filter fires, expandin
it will show the same result.
4.  Send yourself a message which will meet the criteria of the filter, get the
message. Filter fires and moves the message to the destination parent folder.
Notice both the destination folder and its child are both bold in the folder
pane.  Note: the unread count does not increase for the child/subfolder.
5.  Read the new message in the parent folder.  Notice the boldness goes away
from both the parent and subfolder.

Result:  subfolder gives false impression that a message has been filtered to it.

Expected:  only true destination folder (the parent folder) should have unread
indication.

I don't think any mailnews code has changed - could it be tree control related?
Or, maybe the big themes landing?
