368239 - forward/back in stand-alone message window doesn't cross folders

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Attachment: proposed fix

There are a couple issues with forward/back crossing folders using the stand-alone message window. Also, you need to do next unread twice to get it to cross folders w/ the standalone message window. The patch I'm about to attach fixes both problems, as well as an issue where the drop down menu for the back/forward buttons doesn't notice when you change folders so it shows the wrong folder in the menu, in that case.

this fixes the folder name n the drop down, when you've crossed folders:

+  msgWindow.openFolder = msgfolder;
+  

this fixes the need to do next unread twice to cross folders:

+      // accessing the db causes the folder loaded notification to get sent
+      // for local folders.
+      var db = msgfolder.getMsgDatabase(msgWindow);

and I added a method LoadNavigatedToMessage for messageWindow.js and msgMail3PaneWindow.js to differentiate the way they need to handle loading messages after back/forward navigation.

Karsten, you'll probably be interested in this patch for SM if you have forward/back buttons.
