125987 - Threading is wrong after receiving new messages

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 93426

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[Steffen Motzer]

Mozilla build: 20020214

After Mozilla has downloaded new messages from a newsgroup (or sorted in new
messages in a folder used for a mailinglist) the threading no longer makes any
sense.

After changing the threaded-view from ascending to descending and then back to
ascending the messages are threaded the way they are supposed to be.

Mozilla is configured only to display unread usenet-messages.

steps to reproduce:
1. subscribe to a newsgroup, set the sort-mode to threaded and make sure that
there are unread messages in that newsgroup folder.
2. re-connect to the newsserver and when there are new messages in that
newsgroup folder open the folder.
3. click the threaded symbol twice to fix the wrong display.

screenshot please?

Attachment: new messages were received

I blanked the names of the newsgroup participants since this newsgroup is only
available on my ISP's newsserver.

Attachment: Another example of errorous threading.

I've added another screenshot, that shows another threading error, that is very
obvious. The new messages are placed at the bottom of the already expanded
thread. Closing and opening the thread (eg clicking the triangle) resorts the
thread, and works as a work-around.

confirming this behaviour in nightly 2002050108 win2k.

What about to download newer builds?

20020214 and 2002050108 sound quite old to me. :)

Still seeing this, only while reading a thread, posting myself and getting new
messages, this is with 2002081119.

Most likely this is a dupe of bug 93426. Reporter, I don't fully understand your
description, please check if this is true.

It's the same :)

Though I'm not the reporter, Steffen if you think I'm wrong, please re-open the bug.
