208360 - Selected "Unread" loses currently selected message

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[Robert La Ferla]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.5a) Gecko/20030604

If you select "Unread" messages, the mail window will no longer show the message
that you had previously selected because it was read.  This is inconsistent
because when you read messages in the "Unread" mode, they don't disappear unless
you select "All" and then "Unread" again.  The current message should not
disappear when you switch from "All" to "Unread" even though it has been read.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to a mailbox with both unread and read messages.
2. Select "All" from the drop down menu to see all messages.
3. Select a message to read it.
4. Select "Unread" from the drop down menu to see unread messages.


Actual Results:  
The message you were reading before switching is lost.

Expected Results:  
It should show all unread messages plus the currently (or previously) selected
message that you were reading even though it has been read.

What is the message's status with view back at all messages? unread? If so the
message was automatically marked read after "n" seconds.
