313924 - Cannot remove feeds once they have been entered

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 305584

(MailNews Core :: Feed Reader, defect)

Description

[Sander Goudswaard]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050915 Firefox/1.0.7
Build Identifier: Version 1.5 - 20051025

I add the following feed to a folder 'Marktplaats' under News & Blogs:

http://kopen.marktplaats.nl/opensearch.php?b=1&q=externe%20microfoon

I also have another one present:

http://kopen.marktplaats.nl/opensearch.php?b=1&q=nilfisk%20hepa

I am unable to remove the first feed from the Feed Subscriptions window. It is even listed twice.
After removing the feed, it is displayed as empty item (no title but with a URL). 
Editing a feed button with the Edit button also does not work, nothing happens when the Edit button is pressed.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add the listed feeds
2. Attempt to remove the first feed

Actual Results:  
The feed is not removed

Expected Results:  
The feed should be removed

The fact that the feed cannot be removed means the user will receive feed items that are not relevant anymore, and there is little he can do about it except for editing configuration files.

File feeds.rdf available on request.

Update: it appears to be removed from feeds.rdf but still present in marktplaats.msf. The last part of this file is as follows:

Maybe related to bug 305584?

Removing a feed does not remove the associated folder.  If you right-click the folder (in the 3-pane window) and select Delete, does it disappear?  And then no longer appear in the Manage Subscriptions window?

This is definitely 305584. Closing as duplicate. Although the feed is stored in the .msf file and not in the .rdf file, this issue is not about removing the folder (that should not be removed in this case) but about removing of the feeds.
