https://www.reddit.com/r/Thunderbird/comments/dtx6zb/can_i_get_search_results_in_a_simple_list/ I think has some aspects of this bug - the user is not utilizing "open email as list" as an alternative to clicking on a message in the facet list.
Definitely a UX bug - if nothing else because "open email as list" is in such a small font. It's also not centered in the shaded bar.

Wow, before reading this bug I didn't even know of the existence of that link.
That whole top area with the results count, link, and sorting option should be redesigned as it's not intuitive at all and the style is inconsistent with anything else we have.
Here's a quick proposal to improve the discoverability of the available options, and keep the style more consistent.
Asking for a feedback to Richard to see if he thinks this might be a good direction to go.

This section is more messy than I expected.
The UI is pretty old, with elements relying on table styiling and some convoluted JS methods I don't really understand.
This update takes care of refreshing the header in order to make those buttons and options more discoverable and accessible, and also adds a quick polish to the overall style of the page.
So much more should be done here as many things could be optimized and fixed.
If this one lands, I'll create some follow up bugs to continue the work on this section, which is in need of some serious love.

Can someone post a screen shot of the patch results?

That's part of what bug 929845 is about.

For "Show results as list" I liked the little icon with arrow better than the one with the plus (+).
But for icon, I'd rather see something more akin to a list, a box with lines, rather than a box with arrow or plus.
That icon is not there to represent "the list" but rather to let the user know that clicking on that link/button will open a new window/tab.
I'm using that icon since it's part of our Photon Icon Library.

But let's just use document.getElementById("date-toggle").checked = true;
I have to use setAttribute("checked", "true")
because this element is a label styled as a button, and checked = true
doesn't seem to work.
indention off
Argh, almost every attribute in that file are not properly indented. I'm fixing it.
