281594 - Flag option in context menu not behaving correctly

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Backend, defect)

Description

[Hernán Freschi]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; es-ES; rv:1.8a6) Gecko/20050111
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; es-ES; rv:1.8a6) Gecko/20050111

When marking messages for flagging, for later downloading in a newsgroup or mail
folder, the "flag" option in the context menu remebers the status of the
previous message, which may not be the case for the selected message

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. click on an unflagged e-mail message/usenet post
2. right-click, choose mark, choose flag
3. clik on another unflagged message
4. right-click, choose mark, NOTICE the status of "flag"

Actual Results:  
"flag" option is ticked (which is correct for the PREVIOUS message), but not for
this one

Expected Results:  
the "flag" option should not be ticked until clicked.

the messages are flagged/unflagged correctly, as shown in the "flag" column.
it's only reported wrong in the context menu.
the bug also works "backwards" flag one message, then another one, then unflag
the last one and check the first one: it's flagged, but the menu reports it as
unflagged (state of the previous message). again, the column reports the correct
value.

The same problem as Thunderbird bug 257885?

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
