110860 - QuickSearch: after returning from results to folder view threading is messed up

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

Using nov 19 commerical trunk build

After returning from Quick Search results to a threaded view, particularly if
you were viewing a large/nested thread(s), the threading is majorly messed up. 
I know we have problems switching some other views (see bug 102997), but this is
worse and very noticeable in newsgroups.

1.  Open a newsgroup, threaded mode. QuickSearch bar is shown.
2.  Expand several  threads, preferrably fairly large/nested threads.
3.  Type text in the QuickSearch bar which will match the subject of one of the
large threads.
4.  In the QS results, select a reply of the thread.
5.  Clear the QS text by backspace or delete the text. This returns  you to the
folder view. Notice how jumbled the threading is.

Result:  threading is crapped out when returning from QS results to folder view
which had been in threaded view with some large threads expanded.  Will attach
some screenshots.

I have also seen this lately, thanks for filing it. probably better to build
the threaded view from scratch rather than caching it.

Yeah, it gets extremely messed up sometimes.  Switching to another sort or
choosing thread again doesn't seem to help (may even exacerbate the scene), must
switch to another group and back (which isn't exactly a speedy remedy!).
