Details

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.
