123047 - Watch/Ignore: Incorrect icon display in this case of Watch-Ignore-Unignore

Status: NEW

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[laurel]

Using jan31 commercial trunk build

Minor thing, but incorrect nonetheless confusing...

Steps:
1.  Open a newsgroup, threaded, View Ignored Threads is toggled ON.
2.  Select a thread, mark it Watched (Message|Watch Thread).  Watched icon
appears by the topic message.
3.  Mark the same thread Ignored (Message|Ignore Thread).  Ignored icon now
appears by the topic message.
4.  Now un-ignore the thread by applying command to Ignore Thread again.  
Ignored icon is removed, now the Watched icon is there (incorrect).  
    If you exit and return at this point you'll see an Ignored icon on thie
thread even though it's really not in ignored state either (bug 122650).

Result:  Icon display goes temporarily to Watched icon.

Expected:  No watch or ignore icon.

In 1.5 Final, I am seeing that the Watch state persists across Ignore/Unignore.
I have rules in my userChrome.css file to color the top message of a watched 
thread so I can find it more easily.  After Watch, Ignore, the icon is Ignored 
but the color is set as for Watched.  After Unignore, the icon reverts to Watch.

Unlike the original report, I see that on returning to the group, there is no 
special icon on the thread -- it is neither watched nor ignored.  This is 
probably due to the fix of bug 121164 (to which 122650 was duped).

Returning to this after a *very* long time: I'm not sure if I mistested when I checked this at comment 1, or if something has changed, but with Seamonkey 1.5a-1209, I am seeing the Watch state removed when Ignore is first applied.
I also see this in Thunderbird 2b1-0111.
