Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b) Gecko/20050217
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b) Gecko/20050217

Compact folders reverts to oldest email only in the Inbox folder even if you
have selected a email that is current. If CF is started in another folder (other
than the inbox) the original highlighted email reappears. This worked fine in 1.8a6.

The contents disappear while compacting is in progress, but reappears when done.
To me this is not a problem

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Highlight current email in inbox.
2.Began compact folders
3.

Actual Results:  
Oldest email in the "inbox" is displayed.

Expected Results:  
Show the one that was previously highlighted. Works O.K. in other folders.

Reporter, do you still see this with a more recent build?

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.
