291382 - Messages get prematurely marked as read

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 233027

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[John David Galt]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050414 Firefox/1.0.3
Build Identifier: Thunderbird version 1.0 (20041206)

When reading either Usenet news or an RSS blog, where the server on the other
end is very slow (= takes more than 30 seconds to display a message), selecting
a message in the messages pane (or going there with 'n') markes that message as
read almost immediately.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:



Expected Results:  
No message should ever be marked as read (except at the user's explicit command)
until at least its headers and first screenful of text have been displayed on
the screen.

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.

Repeatable in Thunderbird version 1.0.6 (20050716).  Would someone with the
power to mark a bug as "confirmed" please do so.
