1863913 - Detaching attachment results in duplicate mail when executed on search/virtual folder

Status: NEW

(Thunderbird :: Folder and Message Lists, defect)

Description

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/118.0.0.0 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

detach an attached file

Actual results:

file was correctly detached, duplicate mail created - but not deleted

Note: this works correctly from the account Inbox and other folders. I use a saved search as an Allinboxes folder so that I can view all my messages in one place. It is only when I detach from that folder that the bug appears. In other folders I can see the duplicate appear and then the original email get deleted - this second step does not happen when I detach the file in the saved search folder. Instead it leaves both versions - with and without the detached file.

Expected results:

should have deleted the original mail with attachment.

This seems to be reproducible - I have tried it a few times to see whether it is consistent behaviour and it does seem to be. Obviously not a particularly big problem as I can easily delete the original message manually.

Detaching or deleting in fact creates a new copy of the message without the attachment.

Please edit the bug summary to:

You're seeing this on TB 120 beta and not TB 115 ESR?
