1151825 - when multiple tabs are present, double clicking a mail entry to read it fails to bring the mail content on full screen.

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[js]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:37.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/37.0
Build ID: 20150402191859

Steps to reproduce:

While TB is running, just trying to read a mail in full size, by double clicking on it.
Using Quick Folders since a few years.
I run FF 37.0.1 and TB 31.6 on W7  + SP1 64 bits.



Actual results:

When multiple tabs are present, double clicking a mail entry to read it from the list of mails in input folder sometimes fails to bring the mail content on full screen, especially when session is "old" (many uses of the client in the same W7 session).
However, a single click on the same mail correctly displays this mail (in lower right pane). If only one tab is active at the same time, the problem will not (i.e. never) occur (i.e. the full size mail text will correctly load and be readible).
When the problem occurs, ONLY THE TEXT OF THE MAIL will fail to show: the window is at "full screen", and any attached file indication correctly shows at the bottom.


Expected results:

Yet, as said earlier, the text will be blanked (in full screen mode only).
This exists since at least 5 or 6 versions of TB (over 1 year).
Thanks for a hint and, hopefully a solution.
Great product besides that. Thanks a lot!

Does it reproduce if Quick Folders is disabled?
