(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Nicolas JEANNE]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; fr; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050517 Firefox/1.0.4 (Debian package 1.0.4-2)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; fr; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050517 Firefox/1.0.4 (Debian package 1.0.4-2)

If the attachement is too big and Tunderbird doesn't have the time to process
and show it because you've already selected another message, it continues
loading and eventually shows up while the displayed message body is the newly
selected one.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select a mail with huge attachment
2 [review]. Don't wait until Thunderbird shows the attachement
3. Quickly select another message (Thunderbird continues loading the attachment).
Actual Results:  
The bottom attachment line appear, but corresponding to the previously selected
message while the diplayed message body is corresponding to the new selected one.

Expected Results:  
It should have stopped load the attachment and would NOT show as another message
body is selected and displayed.
