122687 - Watched threads view opens with new msg, not necessarily threaded.

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[laurel]

Using jan30 commercial trunk build

The Watched Threads with Unread view should always open as threaded, show the
entire thread of those threads with unread items.  Here's a general case where
we show only new items and they're not threaded.

Steps:
1.  Open newsgroup, threaded mode, show All.
2.  Message|Watch Thread on a thread having replies and at least one message in
the thread is unread.
3.  Switch the view to View|Watched Threads with Unread.  View opens in threaded
mode, shows the entire thread which has an unread item.
4.  Read all unread items in the thread.  If you happen to have any other
watched threads, read all unread items in those, too.  So you want to have no
unread items left in any watched threads.
5.  Switch the View back to All, then switch back to Watched Threads with
Unread.  The Watched view is now empty.
6.  Collapse the news server or select another newsgroup.
7.  From another machine send a reply to the thread you have watched.
8.  Now expand the news server, go to the newsgroup which you left in the
(empty) watched view.  When the newsgroup shows the newly received reply it is
added to the view, but just the new message is shown and not the full thread. 
If you've received a few new replies to the thread, they'll all be shown but
will not be threaded and still the entire thread will not be shown.

Result:  A group left in an empty, threaded Watched Thread view will open next
time to show new messages in the watched thread, but will not be threaded.

Expected: Watched Threads with Unread view should always open threaded, full
thread in view.

Sounds very much like a dupe of bug 98183?

MASS-CHANGE:
This bug report is registered in the SeaMonkey product, but has been without a comment since the inception of the SeaMonkey project. This means that it was logged against the old Mozilla suite and we cannot determine that it's still valid for the current SeaMonkey suite. Because of this, we are setting it to an UNCONFIRMED state.

If you can confirm that this report still applies to current SeaMonkey 2.x nightly builds, please set it back to the NEW state along with a comment on how you reproduced it on what Build ID, or if it's an enhancement request, why it's still worth implementing and in what way.
If you can confirm that the report doesn't apply to current SeaMonkey 2.x nightly builds, please set it to the appropriate RESOLVED state (WORKSFORME, INVALID, WONTFIX, or similar).
If no action happens within the next few months, we move this bug report to an EXPIRED state.
