226035 - News reader loses "expand all threads" setting on seemingly random threads.

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(MailNews Core :: Database, defect)

Description

Not a new bug, it's ongoing.  Reading newsgroups, click on veiw/threads/unread.
 Now click on veiw/threads/expand all threads.
All threads will be expanded.
Leave that newsgroup, then go back again.
Seemingly random threads will be collapsed, most of them will still be expanded.
 Once it does collapse a particular thread, it seems to do that to the same
thread everytime until you mark all posts in that thread as read (and basicly
get rid of that thread on your newsreader).

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.See Details.
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Some threads are not expanded.

Expected Results:  
It should have opened the newsgroup again with *ALL* threads expanded.

I'm having the same problem.  It seems like some newsgroups work just fine, and others insist on showing threads collapsed whenever I initially try to read them.

you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
