176365 - double-clicking a newsgroup entry brings up another mailnews window

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[Rack]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2b) Gecko/20021022 Phoenix/0.3
Build Identifier: 1.1

Double-clicking on the name of a newsgroup main name brings up a duplicate
window.  This functionality should be optional.  Perhaps a shift or control
doubleclick would be more appropriate, or allowing a right-click menu option to
open the newsgroup in a new window.

Rack, what do you expect it to do?  Collapse/expand?  FWIW, this is currently
to-spec.

Comment 2

This is the spec'd behavior:

Single clicking a newgroup or folder selects the newgroup or folder and displays 
its contents in the existing window. 

Double clicking a newsgroup or folder opens a new window, selects the newgroup 
or folder and displays its contents.

Yes I did expect it to collapse/expand, but since it's current behaviour is as
expected, then I'll mark the bug as invalid.  =)

Rack - you _could_ always turn this into an RFE (severity -> enhancement), but I
don't think anyone would implement this for a while (if ever).

Based on the spec, verified invalid.
