1878408 - when you access a subscribed newsgroup a discussion tree opens probably randomly

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Thunderbird :: Folder and Message Lists, defect)

Description

[:filigrana]

Attachment: as soon as I started TB, I click on the group and this thread opens...

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:122.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/122.0

Steps to reproduce:

reproducible: sometimes
when I access one of my subscribed groups by clicking on it, sorting is by date, descending, tree view, table view layout, sometimes at least one discussion opens and is shown in full...
To continue reading you need to close it manually, especially if it is a popular topic.
apparently it's a random topic, because I didn't participate in the discussion, it's not the latest one, it wasn't opened previously and so on... I don't find any apparent logic in the opening of these trees.
in troubleshooting mode the issue does NOT seem to arise, but I only use the confirmbeforedelete addon and I doubt it is causing the problem.

Actual results:

one discussion tree is open...

Expected results:

all threads should be closed (default behavior) and should be the user to open those that interest him...

Scrolling newly received messages into view is intended default behavior. Try setting mailnews.scroll_to_new_message to false in the config editor.

TY...
I'll try your setup in a couple of days...
I'm not very expert, but could this be a duplicate of bug 139242?

I solve this bug as worksforme, even if I didn't quite understand what the default behavior of the TB was, i.e. which thread with new messages it expanded... however your suggestion solved the problem and for me it is sufficient...
