Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 161999

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[Colleen Beamer]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.3a) Gecko/20021212
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.3a) Gecko/20021212

Refer to outline steps below.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.For example, with Inbox active, select "Empty Trash" (which for example
contains 10 items).
2.Trash folder continues to display that it has 10 items
3.Click on trash folder to make this folder active and it is empty and the item
display displays nothing indicating that it is empty.

Actual Results:  
If I was in another folder and selected to "Empty Trash", the trash folder
appeared to have items in it unless I made the "Trash Folder" active by clicking
on it.

Expected Results:  
The trash folder should show that the contents have been cleared no matter what
folder is currently active.  Also, it would be nice if an empty folder displayed
0 as the number of items.  

I am not using any themes.

I quite like Mozilla and have found a couple of things that are even nicer than
Netscape and I've been using Netscape ever since I started using a graphical
interface for the internet.  However, along with this bug report, it would be
nice to reproduce something that happens in Netscape when you empty the trash -
if you've deleted items in a particular folder, say "Inbox" and then, you select
"Empty Trash", Netscape shows a dialogue box saying that it is compacting
"inbox" and displays a progress meter.
