160050 - Subfolders are not displaying on the Subscribe dialog even after toggling expand/collapse state of parent

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

Linux only: Subfolders are not displaying on the Subscribe dialog even after
toggling expand/collapse state of parent

There was known bug 136749 for Windows and Mac platforms.
I found that this problem is ONLY occurring for Linux platform. (pp bug)
I don't know whether this is a regression bug or not??
But following is the scenario that I run into when I tetsing on IMAP Shared
Folders (But, this bug is not specific for IMAP Shared Folder, I am just listing
the scenario here for reproducing this problem:

Setup:
Setup three accounts for Shared fodlers (Act A: setup RWM folder privilege for
Act B & ActC)

1) From Act A: Setup RWM folder (Read, Write, Manage Privilege)shared with Act B & C
2) From Act B: After subscribe RWM folder, create subfolders RWM_sub_fdr under
RWM folder
3) From Act C: From the subscribe dialog, because of known bug 136749, after
toggling expand/collapse state of parent folder

Actual Results: Subfolders are not displaying on the Subscribe dialog even after
toggling expand/collapse state of parent. So, users won't be able to subscribe
those shared subfolders if they are using Linux platform.
 
Expected Results: With the known bug 136749, subfolders should display on the
Subscribe dialog to allow users to subscribe those shared subfolders on the
Linux platform

P.S. This might be a regression bug or some specific problem for Linux platform
 since problem is NOT occurring on Windows & Mac platforms.

Karen, why don't you attach a protocol log so we can be sure there really are
sub-folders and they are getting reported by the server? thx.

Attachment: IMAP log of this problem when view "huang1/huang1_RWM/huang1_RWM_sub1" subfolder from huang3 account

Oops! Should be : when view "huang/huang1_RWM/huang1_RWM_sub1" subfolder from
huang3 account.

huang = Act A
huang1 = Act B
huang3 = Act C
RWM= huang1_RWM
RWM_sub_fdr= huang1_RWM_sub1

Karen, is there no twisty by "Shared Folders/User/huang/huan1_RWM" ? I don't see
the client ever listing the children of huan1_RWM, so of course, it doesn't know
what the children are. It should be showing that folder with a '+' by it, and
clicking on it should expand to show the children. If not, you could try
deleting localstore.rdf and see if that fixes it.

it's not linux-only. I'm a bit confused how the subscribe UI ever works for IMAP
- I can't see what causes it to list parent folders anymore.

Yes! This is not only occurring on Linux, it's occurring on Windows too.
Adding regression for the keywords since at least it used to allow users to
subscribe subfolder after toggling expand/collapse state of parent on windows
before....(see bug 136749)

Something getting worse on subscribing IMAP subfolders....
If I used 07-23-08-1.0 branch build, I can subscribe subfolder after *3 times*
toggling expand/collapse state of parent.
If I used yesterday branch build, I CANNOT subscribe subfolder even after *3
times* toggling expand/collapse state of parent.... :-(

This is a regression bug and nothing to do with IMAP Shared Folders
Should this be a ADT bug?
