272934 - message view pane freezes while concurrently deleting and receiving message

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Gaele Strootman]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

Thunderbird is connected with IMAP to my mailserver. I'm reading a message in a
standalone message window. At the same time it is selected in the message list,
and shown in the message view pane.

I hit the delete button. At the same time (so it seems) a new message is being
downloaded. It takes a while for the deleted message to disappear from the
message list (half a minute? one minute?) However, after that the deleted
message stays in the message view pane, and it won't go away.

The result is: I can receive other messages, but they won't show up in the
message view pane. However I can read them in a standalone message window. I
cannot delete any message, neither from a standalone message window, nor from
the message list. The deleted message is still in the message view pane, no
matter which message I select. And the status bar is frozen on "Downloading
message..."

Just checked: I can move a message from the message list to a folder. This will
update the message view pane. However, I still cannot delete the message in its
new folder.

Reproducible: Didn't try
Steps to Reproduce:
1. connect with IMAP
2. select a message
3. delete it
4. let Thunderbird download a message while busy deleting?

Actual Results:  
Message view pane is frozen.
Selecting or deleting a message from the message list has no effect.

Expected Results:  
Show the selected message in the message view pane.
Enable deletions

I checked with webmail on the mailserver and the deleted message was indeed
moved to the Trash folder.
