2068468 - Strange behaviour of folder content counter

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Thunderbird :: Folder and Message Lists, defect)

Description

[Justus Jonas]

Attachment: 4 Screenshots merged into one picture file

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:155.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/155.0

Steps to reproduce:

I started TB, and deleted / moved /removed mails from folders into another folders.

First noticed the issue with TB 154.0, and still present after updating to 155.0

Actual results:

1. at Startup, empty Folders Show a "..." instead of the counter numbers

2. moving / removing mails into / from that Folder let appear the correct counter numbers

3. moving the last mail out of the Folder leads to a correct "0" counter

4. after restarting TB, the "0" disappeared and again a "..." is shown

Expected results:

a folder with zero mails should be displayed always in the same, i.e. always "0" or always "..."

Does it happen in Help > Troubleshoot Mode?

Comment 2

Can't say definitely.
Because with active troubleshooting mode, the counters are deactivated in general.

That's not '...'. The field contains an empty string (instead of '0') and the background collapses to a thin line.
