1852294 - Regression: thunderbird temporarily shows completely wrong sender, receiver, subject info on mails

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Thunderbird :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[Ellie]

Attachment: Screenshot from 2023-09-08 17-27-31.png

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/118.0

Steps to reproduce:

1. Pick out any e-mail to select and get unlucky
2. See screenshot

Actual results:

See screenshot, subject and sender and other header info can be completely mixed up and plain wrong to content. While this usually fixes itself, even just shortly displaying the completely wrong info here is in my opinion super dangerous since it can lead to great confusion, aided fishing, wrong responses to wrong people, and so on. It should display a spinner or nothing if it's still loading from the server.

Expected results:

Never should the wrong subject and other header info be shown for a selected e-mail, not even for a short amount of time.

I filed it despite little info because it seems like a super dangerous bug. I don't know how to reproduce it, however.

Hopefully you've found newer versions to be more reliable.
If not, please comment again the bug.
