123074 - Expanded (All or some) thread state not preserved switching views.

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[laurel]

Using feb01 commercial build

Expanded threads (Expand All or just some expanded) will be collapsed once you
switch views and back.  They're preserved if just switching sort and back, but
not views.  Also affects clearing a QuickSearch and returning to folder view (if
one of the expanded threads' replies wasn't selected in search results).

1.  Open newsgroup (or mail folder), threaded mode, View|Messages|All.
2.  Expand a couple threads.
3.  Switch to another view (View|Messages) then back to All.

Result:  Now those expanded threads are collapsed.

Note:  This happens, too, when staying in View All and just toggling Ignored
threads off or on, which is really not switching views at all.

Is this a dupe of bug 64426?

WFM on WinXP SP1 trunk 2003082004.

Steps I used:
1. View->Threads->Collapse All Threads
2. View->Messages->All
3. Expand a couple of threads
4. View->Messages->Later (since I don't use that label)
 - No messages in view -
5. View->Messages->All.

Results: All threads expanded in step 3 are still expanded.

Reporter: if the behavior described above was not the one intended, please
reopen this bug. Thanks !
