289619 - Thunderbird called "Mail & Newsgroups" on boot and if empty of content

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Thomas K. (:tom)]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050328 Firefox/1.0.2
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050328 Firefox/1.0.2

Every time I start Thunderbird at home, it says "Mail & Newsgroups" in the bar
for a second.  It's really odd.  I just set it up at work for testings, and
didn't actually create anything in the account wizard.  The entire time it
stayed titled "Mail & Newsgroups".  Apparently as there's no accounts, it is not
named Thunderbird.  I exited this empty thunderbird and reopened it, the account
creation wizard was shown again to which I again cancelled.  Thunderbird still
is "Mail & Newsgroups".

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Thunderbird
2. Don't setup anything
3. Gawk.

OR, if you have accounts already:
1. Start Thunderbird
2. Look at the Taskbar item quickly, notice it's not Thunderbird.
3. Gawk.
Actual Results:  
I see the wrong title for thunderbird.

Expected Results:  
I should see the right title for Thunderbird.

The problem is here:

I wonder why Thunderbird uses titledefault here, mscott?

mscott: One day after your checkin to make TB match FF more closely, hyatt
reverted his checkin for that (see

frank, what symptom should I be looking for? I ran with and without your patch
and I see the same text int he windows title bar for the main 3 pane window. I see 

"inbox for [e-mail] - Mozilla Thunderbird"

or "My Work Account - Mozilla Thunderbird"

mscott: set up a new profile and don't create any accounts.  that way, even if
your computer is so fast you don't see it called "Mail & Newsgroups" for a split
second at boot, you'll see it because it's empty of content.

It does happen on 1.0.2.
