Trouble with the Menue of 'customize...' in the Threadpane View-filter

Bug also happend in an actual linux nightly-build
Bug first appears for me in Nightlys from 09.08.04(mmddyy)

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.MailNews->Threadpane-filter 'View:' choose 'Customize...' -> Menue appears.
2.Choose 'Cancel'
3.Choose 'Customize...' again.
4.'Customize...' IS now the actual filter!
5.Ceck the drop-down-menue again and see, that 'customize...' is checked :-)
6.Choose 'All' and everything is well again.
7.Start the game again at [1.]
Actual Results:  
'Customize...'-menue don't appear every time

Expected Results:  
'customize...'-menue should appear every time

The actutal 'customize...'-menue don't let you manage your customize filters!!!

I change the 'Component:' from general to MailNews: Mail Window, cause thats the
better place for this bug.

Confirming.

I think solving bug 303895 is a first step, and we should check again after that
if we still see this problem.

With the patch for bug 303895, the bug is still there it just "moves".

After the correction of bug 303895, "Customize..." opens the correct "Customize
Message Views" dialog, and there is no more problem.

But the newly created entry in the drop-down list "Save Search as a Folder..."
that is now the one to use now to open the "New Saved Search Folders" dialog has
still exactly the problem described here.

Thunderbird has the same behaviour, but I don't believe this shows it's a core
problem, just that they have exactly the same bug in the outer layer.

BTW the thunderbird version of this bug is bug 267688.

Hopefully this has now been fixed by the patch for bug 303895 that has been
checked in.

Very late and a big sorry for that.
The bug is fixed in my actual SM-Trunk.

Thanks to Wayne for remembering.
