468388 - Inbox view with 2008115 always sorts by sender in descending order when opening, but before would open sorted by date in ascending order if closed that way.

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.4) Gecko/2008102920 Firefox/3.0.4
Build Identifier: version 2.0.0.18 (20081105)

I leave my inbox view at Unread, sorted by date, with oldest on top.  I used to be able to set this and close TB, and it would reopen with the sort it had when closed.  Now, the inbox always opens sorted by sender, with Z on top.  Any way to lock the sort setting?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.open thunderbird inbox with view at Unread with unread messages.
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
I checked all the menus for Options, but could not find a setting to resolve this.


Open the inbox with whatever sort existed at the time Thunderbird closed.

Seems to work fine over here.
Could an extension be causing it? (Try thunderbird.exe -safe-mode)

After reflection, I noticed that my problem came only after upgrading to Firefox 3.04.  As I opened Thunderbird to see your message above, the problem re-occurred.  However the safe mode experiment gave the correct behavior, and when I went back to normal Thunderbird, it now works as it did before.  It's a phenomenon.  Thanks for your help.
