Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Thunderbird :: Folder and Message Lists, defect)

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_11_3) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/48.0.2564.116 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

[TB 45.7.1]
I did nothing : I have a dozen of virtual folders


Actual results:

From time to time one of this virtual folder is doubled, I do not know why. And if I try to delete one of these two duplicates, it removes both! ...
Restarting TB doesn't fix the problem.
Now I have three such duplicates.


Expected results:

No duplicates please :-)

May be it happens after I've renamed the folder. But I'm not sure.
I'll try to suppress one of this folder and to recreate it.
I'll keep you informed.

OK. This time when I suppress the FIRST folder of a duplicated one, the second one is not suppressed !.. I've tried folders duplicated and it's the same. Good news. But imho the problem is not fixed. I'm sure it'll come again.

JiPaulB, does this reproduce for you when using currennt beta ?

As I suppressed all my virtual folders (except two one) because of this problem (not resolved 6 years ago !...) I could just say this didn't happen on these two folders. If this had happened I would probably have deleted these two folders as well (although one of them is actually very useful to me).
