286921 - Improper behavior with "Advance to next unread message in..." dialog box

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 274728

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Matthew Flaschen]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; AOL 9.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)
Build Identifier: Mozilla Thunderbird version 1.0 (20041206)

When you are processing unread mail in Mozilla Thunderbird by clicking the next 
button in the standalone message box you are occasionally presented with a 
dialog box stating, "Advance to next unread message in (insert the next folder 
with unread mail)"?  To my understanding, this is to prevent you from reading 
mail you don't expect.  Sometimes, when you click next, it will not actually 
change messages, even when you click OK.  Instead, it will stay on the original 
message.  When you click next again, it shows an identical dialog.  This time, 
though, when you click OK, it does change messages.  See reproduction steps 
below for an easily understood example.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Mozilla Thunderbird
2. Create 3 test folders, named Test1, Test2, and Test3.
3. Compose a message with the subject and body containing the text Test1.
4. Save it to Drafts.
5. Do the same, but for this message, have Test2
6. Move the message with Subject Test1 to Test1 folder, and do the same for the 
other message.
7. Ensure both messages are unread. 
8. Double-click on the Test1 message in its folder.
9. Click Next.
10. Click OK.
12. Click Next.
13. Click OK.

Actual Results:  
It didn't change messages after the first OK, but did after the second.

Expected Results:  
It should have changed messages after the first OK.

Sorry, but Test3 for the second message and put it in the Test3 folder.

Damn.  I'm really sorry.  As you can see, I submitted twice by mistake.

This happens for me still in Thunderbird 1.0.2, also when pressing 'space' as
well as clicking the Next button. It's very annoying.

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.

This bug *was* confirmed by a second user (nearly 6 months ago). It is trivial
to reproduce, and is still present in Thunderbird 1.0.6 on Windows XP. There
have been no "works for me" reports, so I can only conclude that no-one else has
tried to reproduce it.

(Note that this Bugzilla is not configured to allow ordinary users to mark bugs
as CONFIRMED.)

I'd like to confirm this bug too, using 1.0.6 aswell as 1.0.7
For me it's always reproducible.
When going to the first message in another folder, i have to use Next->OK twice
to get there. However, this works when using N (or next button) from the message
list instead of the message itself...

Anyone else seeing that?

Comment 8

[Daira Hopwood]

Right; it only happens when pressing N or space from a separate message window,
not from the message list window.

This bug is confirmed as still existant in versions 1.5 and 1.6 alpha 1.
Minor but very annoying.
