218361 - message filters window malfunctions after new header creation

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 212625

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Robert Mohr]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5a) Gecko/20030728 Mozilla Firebird/0.6.1
Build Identifier: Thunderbird 0.2

After creating a new header for use in filters, the dropdown containing the
headers is unavailable until the "Message Filters" window is closed and
reopened.  There is a workaround, but there shouldn't need to be one.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Begin creation of a new filter.
2. Select header dropdown from <header dropdown> <contains|doesn't
contain|is|isn't> <text field> in the first filter rule.
3. Select "Customize" and enter a new header.  The two I attempted were
X-Text-Classification, and X-POPfile-Link, but the header itself seems irrelevent.  
4. Close the dialog box.
5. Attempt to open the dropdown menu again--it does not work.
6. Close "Message Filters" window, reopen, it works.

When I said "Message Filters" window I meant "Filter Rules" window.
