With Thunderbird 0.7.2 I found the following bug:

- make sure the folder-tree of a mail account is expanded

- left-click the root-folder of the account and immediately right-click it:

The folder-tree collapses! This means a left-click followed by a right-click is
handled as double-click. This is a bug.

Reproducible: Always

Yes, this sounds like a dupe of bug 91337.

I can confirm this using Windows XP and 0.7 20040707. The left-right-click only
registers as a double click on the tree view and not on other objects that
respond to double clicks. In fact, the problem is more generic and appears in
other places where the same software component appears to be in use. See the
History sidebar in Firefox for another example.

You are right. Such problems also exist in Firefox. So Product "Thunderbird" is
incorrect for this bug.
What "Product" has to be set for GUI-bugs like this, that exist on both,
Thunderbird and Firefox?

I don't like to submit a double for Firefox!

I have to revoke comment #5. For Firefox this problems seems to be fixed in
recent nightlies. So this is a Thunderbird-only bug.

I can confirm that this bug is no longer present in the nightly build of
Thunderbird (20040812).

Given above comment, I believe this was fixed by the patch for bug 244692.  That
contained quite a few \toolkit changes.  Please post if there's any more
Thunderbird problems with this in nightlies.

I confirm that this is fixed in 0.8 final.
