287511 - RSS messages are sometimes discarded (w/o any warning)

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(MailNews Core :: Feed Reader, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050225 Firefox/1.0.1

TB seems to "lose" RSS messages.

When adding a new feed (or updating an existing feed), some messages are
downloaded then discarded (w/o any warning), for no visible reason.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
I've duplicated a automatically-generated feed to a local server, and told TB to
use it as a RSS feed (see attached sample)

When TB (1.0.2) retrieves the feed, it reports 27 messages, and downloads all of
them.

Then, in the preview page, the RSS folder for this feed indicates only 18
messages. 9 messages are missing.

If some messages are removed from the feed (and the feed is deleted/trashed and
subscribed again in TB), some of the previously missing messages magically
appear in the preview pane.

Actual Results:  
Some messages from the feed are missing

Expected Results:  
I expect TB to display all the messages, or signal the user a feed is corrupted

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
