Steps to reproduce:

Set the message pane to View, Sort by, Group by Sort so that it showed emails by Today, yesterday, last 7 days, last 14 days, old.

Actual results:

That works fine but structure keeps collapsing almost every time I go to a folder with different view and so have to reopen each group every time to I go to a new folder.

Not quite sure if problem is intermittent or whether I am doing sometihng slightly different when view does collapse.

Wayne Mery reported same problem.

Expected results:

Message pane should have displayed emails by group and kept displaying with the groups that I had expanded kept expanded. Not collapse all the groups each time I leave that folder.

Thanks. Yeah, this is happening and it's probably annoying for those using Group by Sort.
Confirming for 107.0a1 (2022-09-30) (64-bit), Win10, and 102.3.1 (64-bit).

STR

  • On folder A, View > Sort By > Group by Sort (e.g. on Date)
  • Click on twisty to open some grouped nodes to see the messages in there e.g. for Today
  • Select folder B
  • Select folder A

Actual result

  • All nodes including those which you manually opened before are closed.

Expected result

  • Dear Thunderbird, would you kindly remember which group nodes I had expanded, just like you also remember all the other view settings. Reopening them every time is pretty inconvenient and frustrating.
