258907 - Account Settings/Copies & Folders sometimes displays the wrong things

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Thunderbird :: Preferences, defect)

Description

[James Lockie]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8a3) Gecko/20040824 Firefox/0.9.1+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8a3) Gecko/20040824 Firefox/0.9.1+

"Keep message drafts in:" defaults to ""Drafts" Folder on: [Local Folders]".

This is the correct default but selecting the checkbox again changes [Local
Folders] to [account name].

It should say [account name] to begin with.

The same thing happens with "Keep message templates in:...".

This is on Linux and is just a display bug.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to Tools/Account Settings/Copies & Folder

Actual Results:  
See what is displayed for the dropdown list for "Keep message drafts in:" and
"Keep message templates in:...".
Sometimes it displays "Drafts" Folder on: [Local Folders]" and sometimes it
displays "Drafts" Folder on: [account name]".
It is flaky.


Expected Results:  
It should display "Drafts" Folder on: [account name]" or whatever is set in the
profile.


Thunderbird version 0.6+ (20040911)
