1012792 - I'd like to see a highlight over on the left for whichever account I'm using. Sometimes I see it but not always.

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Thunderbird :: Folder and Message Lists, defect)

Description

[Gene Mosher]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:29.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/29.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20140506152807

Steps to reproduce:

When I click most anywhere on the page the highlight at left disappears and I no longer am sure which of my 3 email accounts I'm looking at.



Expected results:

The highlight should remain in effect.

This sounds like a theme issue, but can you provide more information? Which highlight are you talking about: highlighting of folders in the folder list on the left-hand side when selected, i.e., the background color changes for that folder? Or, about the little squared tool tips appearing when you hover with the mouse over an account or folder and show the full name if it is truncated, e.g., "A lot ... stuff" abbreviating a folder "A lot of interesting stuff"?

Yes, the folder list at left. "Inbox", "Draft", etc. I'm running Debian/Xfce here.

Does the problem go away (or look quite differently) when you switch to another Desktop theme?

If it's too hard to explain, can you attach some screenshots to this report? (follow the link above.)
