232634 - mail in folder disappears temporarily if folder is renamed w a space as the first character and then renamed again

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Chris Kawalek]

User-Agent:       
Build Identifier: Mozilla Thunderbird 0.4 (20031205)

If you create a folder in the local folders and name it something like "Bob" 
and put a piece of mail in it, then rename the folder to " Bob" (space Bob) 
and then rename to anything else like "aBob" the mail in the folder 
disappears.  The mail will return to the folder if you restart the program.  
While replicating the problem there seems to be a few other problems w folders 
and having them start with a space, for instance I had one that would not 
delete unless you renamed it and then deleted it.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create a folder in the local folders and name it something like "Bob"
2.put a piece of mail in it
3.rename the folder to " Bob" (space Bob)
4.then rename to anything else like "aBob" the mail in the folder disappears
Actual Results:  
mail disappeared until I restarted the program

Expected Results:  
shown the mail at all times

Tested on 20040907-trunk nightly.

I thought maybe this might be a duplicate of 89986, but I don't get any of the
JavaScript exceptions that that bug has. Instead, sometimes I get this one:

Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code:
0x80550013 [nsIMessenger.RenameFolder]"  nsresult: "0x80550013 (<unknown>)" 
location: "JS frame :: chrome://messenger/content/widgetglue.js :: RenameFolder
:: line 74"  data: no]

I say sometimes because I can't seem to get it to do that everytime. I've also
noticed that sometimes I restart Thunderbird to find " Bob" AND "aBob" with
"aBob" having the mail I copied in and " Bob" having nothing. 

I'll work on coming up with a better test routine...

I'm not going to open a new bug because I believe my issues is related to this
bug report where renaming the folder is not changing the filename of the folder.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a folder in the local folders and name it something like "Bob"
2. Rename the folder to "ANYTHING" (Doesn't matter what you call it)
3. Try to create a new folder called "Bob".

Actual Results:  
Says the folder "Bob" already exists.

Expected Results:
Create a new folder called "Bob".

My problem appears to be related to this one, so I'll file my comments here.
Very reproducible

Steps:
1. create a new Saved Search folder
2. rename Saved Search folder

All criteria of that saved search folder will disappear
