282458 - Grouped message panes not always updating correctly

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Arun Raghavan]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: version 1.0 (20041206)

I have a filter that puts a message in a folder which I've set to display
messages grouped by date. My Inbox shows messages simply sorted by date, and
threaded (=> no grouping). When I get a new mail, and switch from the Inbox to
the grouped-message folder, the pane is not updated correctly - the message list
is further to the right than it should be, and there is a break in the line that
makes a "tree" of the messages.

This happens *only* when I switch after there's new mail in that folder.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make one folder grouped, add a filter to put some new messages here
2. Switch to another folder
3. Get a new message filtered to the grouped folder

Actual Results:  
There is a glitch in the rendering of the "tree" of messages

Expected Results:  
Correctly displayed the grouped messages tree

Sorry, there's a mistake here. This doesn't seem to happen only when new mails
arrive. I'm not sure about a comprehensive list of cases in which this happens,
but switching from an ungrouped pane to a grouped pane whose message list take
up more than one screen also seems to do this. Let me try to get a screenshot.

Also, this seems to only happen when the Thunderbord window is maximised.

Attachment: Screenshot to show the glitch

I created this by:
1) Marking some mail as new (not always necessary) in one folder
2) Going to the Inbox
3) Going back to the original folder
4) Scrolling the message-list pane up
