(Whiteboard: [DOGFOOD] Mailnews needs this for Dogfood) 

Build 1999061611: setting the selected attribute of a treeitem to true causes
that item to remain selected even after the user clicks on another treeitem.  It
stays selected until you click on it and then click somewhere else.  Visually,
this causes me to have 2 items appearing selected even though no meta keys were
used at any point.

Is there some magic I can do to avoid this or is it just a bug?

Are you explicitly setting the selected attribute on a node? e.g.,

setAttribute("selected", "true")

is being done in your JavaScript somewhere?
Yup, exactly.
Moving all Widget Set bugs, past and present, to new HTML Form Controls
component per request from karnaze.  Widget Set component will be retired
shortly.

changed status.  Assuming this is the correct bug, we need this for 10658 to do
work like Next Unread Message or opening to the Inbox on startup which are part
of mailnews dogfood. M9 would be great, but I could live with early M10.
Moving to M10.

This bug is now fixed. Yay!  See the XPFE newsgroup post I made tonight
regarding the new selection APIs on the tree element.  They should come in
handy.
