If a long and complex Saved Search (of multiple real folders with many items) is
selected, a regular folder is then selected, and then immediately a long and
complex Saved Search is selected (without any delay in the regular folder), that
Saved Search will not be performed, staying with an empty result set forever.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select long and complex Saved Search
2. Select regular folder, and then immediately
3. Select long and complex Saved Search

Actual Results:  
Nothing found by the Saved Search in step 3.

Expected Results:  
Display correct contents of Saved Search.

Work-around: When selecting a regular folder after having selected a long and
complex Saved Search, wait a few seconds in the regular folder before selecting
a long and complex Saved Search.

This problem also occurs when a Saved Search (even a short one) is substituted
for a regular folder in Step 2.

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 is relatively easy to reproduce, and I just confirmed that it persists
in both 1.1 Alpha 2 and 1.5 Beta 1.

John, I don't see this in testing on trunk.  Please reopen if you still see the problem.
