138227 - In groups, some threads' articles appear above first article, not below

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(MailNews Core :: Backend, defect)

Description

[max-mozilla]

From Bugzilla Helper:

When reading news, some threads appear ABOVE their first article (the one
containing the thread icon and the expandable wedge) instead of directly below
it.  The message hierarchy icons even indicate that it is in the wrong place;
they are clearly intended to be children but there is nothing above them.

Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Read news (when there is some substantial amount of news available).
2. Simply do a normal reading session.  In my case all the groups were threadded
and had read unread set.  I was using shift-control-C to clear the old group and
space twice to get to the next newsgroup.
3. Pay attention to the appearance of the threads.

Actual Results:  Sometimes threadded messages appear ABOVE their first message,
rather than directly below them.


Expected Results:  Threadded messages should appear below as expected.


Seems quite reproducible, but does not happen every time.  During one
newsreading session, I saw four instances of this bug in the first five groups I
read (with medium to low traffic).

Can you still reproduce this? It may be a problem with the news server, and not
mozilla. It might be giving the wrong ids.

I'm closing this bug because the reporter has not responded. If this bug still
exist please reopen
