1907181 - In the list of email messages, parents of collapsed threads do not show labels properly

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Thunderbird :: Folder and Message Lists, defect)

Description

[Gregory]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:127.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/127.0

Steps to reproduce:

I have three emails in a thread, named A, B and C
A is the parent and B is child and C is the more recent grandchild.

I have two labels, called Sent and Received. Sent is blue and received is red.
A is sent.
B is received.
C is sent.

I collapse all threads in the message list.

Actual results:

The parent of the thread is marked red in the collapsed thread view of messages.

Expected results:

The parent of the thread should be marked blue, because it itself is marked blue. Alternatively, one may expect it to be marked by the label of the most email in the thread. This is not the case in my scenario.

The parent should retain its label color when collapsed.

EDIT: I cannot find how to edit the above text. But for sake of clarification, I mean A/B/C are labelled sent/received. I also mean to say in third last sentence: Alternatively, one may expect it to be marked by the label of the most RECENT email in the thread.

Setting mailnews.display_reply_tag_colors_for_collapsed_threads to false in the config editor should do the trick. Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to be documented anywhere.

Does this work for you?
