1509647 - Folder location widget on toolbar loses label if a new folder is created

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(MailNews Core :: Backend, defect)

Description

[:aceman]

The folder location button on toolbar (<menulist id="locationFolders">) loses the folder label if a new folder is created (e.g. rightclick in folder pane -> new subfolder).

This is caused by the listener inside the widget that calls this._teardown() from OnItemAdded() which kills the menupopup but does not rebuild it when the parent is a menulist (which is the case here). See the comment above this._ensureInitialized(); in the constructor of folderWidgets.xml.

There are some places that tear down the menupopup externally, e.g. https://searchfox.org/comm-central/source/mailnews/base/prefs/content/am-server-advanced.js#52, so these need to be accomodated, so that _teardown() does not rebuild the menu without picking up the new attributes set.
