Repro case:

1. Select folder A in the folder list, so that its messages are displayed in the message list.

2. Right click on folder B and open its properties.

3. Click "Repair Folder".

4. Observe that the message list is cleared and replaced with the contents of folder B, even though folder A is still selected in the folder list.

I think this is because gFolderTreeController.rebuildSummary in mail/base/content/folderPane.js calls gFolderDisplay.view.close() and then gFolderDisplay.show(folder) regardless of whether the folder being rebuilt is actually the one currently displayed in the message list.

I don't think so. That looks like a different issue to me.
Could not reproduce on 52.7.0, Linux x64.  Found this searching for other bugs in "repair folder".
Still happens for me in 52.7.0 Linux x64 and Daily 2018-01-23. No idea why you can't reproduce it.

bingo? Is the code still the same?

and then there is wada's bug 553859

Looks like the answer to me.

I'm seeing the following in TB 68.3:
I repair the current folder and the messages in the list go blank when hovered. It becomes good when I switch to another folder and back. That's pretty ugly.

Alice, can you please check this for me:
STR:
Local folder with some messages, right-click, repair folder.
Hover the mouse over some messages in the folder and they go blank.

Was this caused by this bug. I don't repair folders much, but I've never seen this.

Wait, I'll try a local backout.

Yep, went broken here :-(

(I was using my PTO to sort through some mail and in the end repaired a folder and found this issue. I think it's worse than the original bug.)

That's why we don't uplift patches until they've had time on the branches.

Personally, I don't trust Daily or Beta exposure. To my knowledge, no one complained on Daily or 71 beta 3. So IMHO putting it into 68.3 (pre-release) and actually using it myself wasn't such a bad idea after all.

Geoff, thunderbird_esr68 isn't set here and by the looks of it on none of the bugs landed on ESR after the beginning of December. At some stage we had a BMO query in the release notes that used that information. I was never a friend of that.
