1534073 - The conversation-browser doesn't send visibilitychange events

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Thunderbird :: Instant Messaging, enhancement)

Description

[Florian Quèze [:florian]]

For Instantbird I had implemented support for this in bug 955124. It's important for the Bubble message theme that can use these events to disable timers for background conversations, and to update the time since the last message right when the user is switching to this conversation again.

Support for this was never implemented in Thunderbird chat, but it turns out aleth did all the hard work of figuring out which conversation gets selected/deselected in bug 760762 for the unread rulers, and the only thing that's missing is setting the docShell's isActive attribute.
