1004551 - From / Subject fields are blank when viewing a message, if you've chosen "View | Headers | All"

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 1003693

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[Daniel Holbert [:dholbert]]

Attachment: screenshot (see upper-left corner)

In Earlybird, whenever I view a message in one of my mailboxes, the "From" & "Subject" headers on the gray bar above the message are now blank.

I first noticed this today, so this is a recent regression. (Possibly from Earlybird being bumped up from v30 to v31.)

AFAICT, this affects all messages in all of my mailboxes.

It affects all layouts (Classic / Wide / Vertical).

It also affects the single-message-in-its-own-tab view (when I double-click on a message).

I can't reproduce in a fresh profile, interestingly. So there's some interaction with some bit of state in my profile, it seems.

It's not add-on dependent, because I can still reproduce after disabling all of my add-ons. I also don't have any custom themes installed, so it's not a theme issue.

Ah! I can reproduce this in a fresh profile, *if* I do View | Headers | All and restart Thunderbird.

(Additionally, if I do View | Headers | All and don't restart, it doesn't actually show any additional headers; it just adds a scrollbar (with a tiny amount of scrollable space) to the header-area at the top of my message.)

Direct duplicate of bug 1003693 which in turn is likely covered in bug 1003525 (we'll see once that it checked in).
