1687655 - stop expanding discussions upon new messages arrival OR quick filter search

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1807063

(Thunderbird :: Folder and Message Lists, defect)

Description

[Germano Massullo]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Fedora; Linux x86_64; rv:84.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/84.0

Steps to reproduce:

in my inbox, I do have enabled the "show discussions" option, so all discussions are shown in a tree view. When I compact a discussion tree (so the entire tree is shown as a single entry), as soon a new message arrives, Thunderbird expands the discussion entirely, showing all the messages

Expected results:

Thunderbird should not expand compacted discussion trees without user interaction
Version thunderbird 78.6.0

I noticed this happens even after the user used the quick filter search
Can I change the bugreport thunderbird version to 102.5 ?

Interesting how a 3 years old bugreport is marked as duplicated of a one that just exists since 10 months
