Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Thunderbird :: Folder and Message Lists, defect, P2)

Description

[Jens Müller (:tessarakt)]

Version: 111.0b2

Steps to reproduce:

1. Select 1 message in message list.
   => As expected: That message is displayed in message area.
2. Select another message, with Shift+Click or Shift+Cursor.
   => As expected: Message view shows (e.g.) "2 conversations" as the title, a preview of each conversations, and the sentence "These messages take up ... kB" at the bottom.
3. Press Ctrl-A.
   => a) As expected: All messages are selected in message list.
   => b) - Expected: Message view now shows Conversations summary of all messages.
   - Actual: Message view is not updated.

I can confirm it's still there on daily.

does it work as expected in 102?

If you really did use ctrl+A, there is a limit imposed on what is presented in the message pane.

Yes, works fine in TB 102.9.0 with over 2000 messages.

If you really did use ctrl+A, there is a limit imposed on what is presented in the message pane.

There were only ~ 50 messages in the inbox of the account where I use the beta.

This ux-mode-error could even end up as dataloss.
Select five threads first, then press Ctrl+A. Get interrupted by the postman. Return and look at the preview, which (due to this bug) still claims "5 conversations". Delete. Boom - all conversations gone! But wait a minute, didn't it say I had only selected five?

Yes.

Yes, but the conversations view was correctly updated in 102, message pane header shows full number of conversations, and there's a correct note at the bottom of the preview:

These messages take up 109 MB. (Note: 232 threads are selected, the first 100 are shown)

Also fixes the select all header button, and a bit of tidying up.
