Confirming for 113.0a1 (2023-03-22) (64-bit), Win10.

STR

  • Select a message, Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+O
  • Alternatively, right-click on msg, Open in Conversation

Actual result

  • The resulting conversation tab does not have a tab title

Expected result

  • The resulting conversation tab should have the subject of the first message in the thread as a title (well, at least that's what 102 does).

  • For bonus points, imho it would be really cool if the tab title would always reflect the subject of the currently selected message of the conversation tab - thread subjects may change quite radically, and the initial subject may no longer describe the latest messages well, so seeing the actual subject of the message currently shown might be helpful. By comparison, we also update the tab title of the 3-pane mail tab when you select another folder. No problem with postponing this improvement to later, but I'd like some feedback on the idea.

Alex, what do you think?

Yes, it's a known issue, even the synthetic view to "show results as list" from a gloda search doesn't that.
We'll get to it soon.
