1867260 - Cannot expand collapsed thread when all other messages are ignored, hence cannot open the original message or unignore messages

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Thunderbird :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[mozilla]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:120.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/120.0

Steps to reproduce:

• receive an email, email 1
• reply
• receive another reply back, email 2 in the same thread
• ignore email 2 (comment: I didn't even intend to do this, maybe by hotkey?)
• collapse the thread

Actual results:

Clicking on email 1 now only shows the thread summary, it's not possible to expand the thread, unignore message or reach messages

Expected results:

not clear, but both messages should be reachable.
Probably it should be possible to expand the thread.

And "View > Threads > Ignored Threads" doesn't show it again?

And "View > Threads > Ignored Threads" doesn't show it again?
After learning that this exists: yes it does.
It's really hard to figure this out though, I couldn't even find in in an internet search - So I'd still argue this is a bug in UX
