156556 - Shows previously viewed message when selecting a new folder

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[Sheela Ravindran]

commercial trunk build: 2002-07-09-08 win98

Selecting a brand new folder in local folders loads the previously viewed 
message in the message pane.  Not sure if this is a regression caused by RDF 
patch.

Steps to repro:
Open mail
Read a message in the inbox
Then select local folder in the folder pane
Right click and create a brand new local folder
select that the folder you just created

Actual result: You will notice the message pane displays the last message you 
read from the inbox.  

Expected: When folder is empty there should be nothing loaded in the message 
pane.

Checked this on 07-03 trunk build and see different results. The previously 
viewed message flashes in the message and goes away. Then loads the start 
page in the message pane.  Where as on today's trunk build the message stays in 
the message pane.
Quick launch is enabled and I have multiple profiles. 

On the branch build 07-09 shows the same results as 07-03 trunk builds.

I backed out the rdf change and could still see this bug. I also backed out 
all of jst's changes, and the bug was still there. So, I installed yesterday's
Gecko/20020708 Netscape/7.0b1+ build and, lo, the bug is in yesterday's build
too :-)

This changed behaviour between the 07/07 8am build and the 07/08 8am build.
The URL is for the checkins in that period, but nothing leaps out as an 
obvious candidate to me.

(I'm not bad at guessing. First try :-).

This changed with jag's checkin, rev 1.115, of dom/src/base/nsDOMClassInfo.cpp
But I don't think that necessarily means the fix is bad. Perhaps the mailnews
window was relying on some dubious behaviour in the chrome/content model.

fwiw my patch in bug 156368 fixes this mailnews symptom.

Comment 9

[John Morrison]

Like Tuukka said, the patch for 156368 also fixes this bug. Leaving open
for racham to figure out if there is anything else to do, but looks fixed
to me.

Sheela Ravindran, is there any reason to keep this bug open?
