118028 - freeze if collapsing "local folders" while reading news from second/last news server

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:0.9.7+) Gecko/20020103
BuildID:    Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:0.9.7+) Gecko/20020103

This is a very obscure bug, but I can reproduce this every time.

Mozilla totally hangs when you try and collapse the "local folders" folder while
reading a news article from the second (experience as a programmer tells me this
should probably read last) news server configured. (I only have two configured).

It works perfectly when doing so from the first news server.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. The local folders needs to be open to display all sub folders, if not already so.
2. Now go to the *SECOND* (or last, I only have two news servers configured)
news server and read a news article from one of it's newsgroups. 
3. Now try to collapse the "local folders" so only "local folders" should be
displayed and none of it's subfolders.

Actual Results:  After clicking on the collapse icon, Mozilla does a total
freeze. Only killing Mozilla and restarting it by pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL and
killing the program in the what-ever-win98-calls-it's task manager - kills it.

Expected Results:  Mozilla should just collapse the "local folders".

Since there are problems concerning naming and structure of folders, here is
some of my data:

I have 3 e-mail accounts configured.
Then comes local folders:

Data:

Subfolders in "Local Folders"
+ Unsent Messages
+ Drafts
+ Templates
+ Sent
+ Trash
+ E-Plus (one of my user defined folders)
+ Linus&IPv6
  + ALFS
  + BLFS
  + LFS-DEV
  + NETDEV
  + USAGI
+ Wichtig

News server 1: news.cis.dfn.de
News server 2: news.mozilla.org

 I reported this bug, and it hasn't happened with any recent build anymore. I totally forgot about this bug.  Marking worksforme.
