Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[matt haines]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en-us) AppleWebKit/85.7 (KHTML, like Gecko) Safari/85
Build Identifier: version 0.7.1 (20040626)

i have a filter set up on mailbox 'A' that looks for a specific string in the body of an incoming 
email. when it finds that string, it moves it to the inbox of mailbox 'B'.

the message is moved properly, however there's an 'unread' highlighting problem. mailbox 'A' is 
highlighted, but then the inbox of mailbox 'B' is highlighted and with the "(1)" indicating an unread 
message. clicking on the mailbox 'A' name removes the highlighting. but since there's nothing new 
in this mailbox, it shouldn't be highlighted in the first place. mailbox 'B' should be.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. set up filter as described in "details"
2. send an email that matches the filter criteria.
3.
Actual Results:  
reproduced bug.

Expected Results:  
highlight the receiving box name, rather than the originating account box name.

I think this is a combination of bug 230805 and this problem, originally cited 
in bug 201917 comment 14:
=======
In Mozilla's classic theme (Classic.jar::skin/classic/messenger/folderPane.css)
are these lines:
  treechildren:-moz-tree-cell-text(folderNameCol, newMessages-true),
  treechildren:-moz-tree-cell-text(folderNameCol, specialFolder-Inbox,
      newMessages-true) {
    font-weight: bold;
  }

There is no corresponding rule in Modern.jar's corresponding file.  I rebuilt 
the JAR with a version of that file omitting those lines, and then could no 
longer duplicate the symptom.
=======

I have seen this in Thunderbird as well.  I'm not sure which theme file is used 
by default; I did find the same style rule in qute.jar, but I wasn't able to get 
TB to use a modified version.
