1918309 - Quick filter bar should be reset when setting a special view ("Threads with Unread"/"Watched Threads with Unread")

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Thunderbird :: Folder and Message Lists, defect)

Description

Attachment: nomessagefound.png

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:130.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/130.0

Steps to reproduce:

Upgraded Thunderbird from 128.1.0esr (64-bit) to 128.2.0esr (64-bit).

Actual results:

Clicking Inbox shows list of messages on screen for short time (a fraction of a second) and then "No message found" message is displayed even though "Inbox 2,743 Messages" is displayed at top. In other words, Thunderbird doesn't show the list of messages.

Expected results:

Thunderbird should display the list of messages.

New findings:

• The messages in Message list are displayed in Troubleshoot mode (I have no addons though)
• Looks like the newly arrived NOT READ messages are displayed in the Message list but not the old ones. If I read the message, the message disappears from the list, so maybe an issue with read messages?

I am able to display the messages in the Message list by two steps:

1. change
   View -> Threads -> ✓ All
   to
   View -> Threads -> ✓ Threads with Unread

After selecting this nothing happens, still no messages in the Message list.
2. change
View -> Threads -> ✓ Threads with Unread
back to
View -> Threads -> ✓ All

Now, the message list displays all messages.

However, if you change the folder (for example Inbox to Sent and back to Inbox), the Message list is empty again.
So I think there's a problem with displaying unread messages (some app state?).

Omg, I had enabled Unread filter in Quick Filter. It's also visible in the attached screenshot.

Disabling the filter fixed the issue!

Anyway, there's a bug that the Unread filter isn't applied when I set:

1. View -> Threads -> ✓ Threads with Unread
2. View -> Threads -> ✓ All

Then the unread messages are visible even if the Unread filter is enabled.

I meant all messages are visible:
Then the read messages are visible even if the Unread filter is enabled.

So the state is broken.

Confirming comment 3. Switching to a special view resets all search terms, so the quick filter bar should be reset in this case.
