Description

[Jon]

Attachment: 4-17-25 Thunderbird v138b03 some error console messages.txt

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/135.0.0.0 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

I clicked on a folder

Actual results:

Nothing in Thunderbird changed to indicate that the folder was clicked, here is a screen recording https://1drv.ms/v/c/7b44a6c9bbfcba41/EXgOI2PafXxEgNqDBvLCK0MBCG_8ehBmzfJixN1DDx-9wQ?e=8bBu4T

Closing Thunderbird and launching it fixes it

Expected results:

It should have displayed the contents of the selected folder.

Pretty much happens multiple times a day, just now. I deleted a message from the unified Junk folder. After that, Thunderbird required a restart.

This, or bug 1952311, the symptoms seem to be the same…

Attachment: Bug 1961165 - Adjust some nsIMsgDBView getters not to throw on no selection. r=edicharry

Investigating this further, throwing errors for these do not make sense. There are few
c++ callers and the js callers either expect null/nsMsgViewIndex_None or do not handle error at all.

That's expected. It's only fixed in 140 (currently alpha, will be beta next week).
