Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8.0.1) Gecko/20060214 Camino/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8.0.1) Gecko/20060214 Camino/1.0

I am experiencing the problem in TB 1.5 (latest update) running on OSX 10.4.5 running on a G4 powerbook. I have experienced this problem in every sub-version of 10.4.

I am using the "view by sort" view.

This occurs every time I either hide or close the main mail window. When I pull the main window back up, the "view by sort" headers ("Yesterday", "Last Week" and so on) are lost, replaced with what appear to be Chinese characters and blanks. I do not experience the problem when the main window is minimized to the dock.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open mail, switch to 'view by sort' view.
2. Hide the main window (command-H or red-x)
3. Re-open the main window with command-1, or by clicking on the dock icon.

Actual Results:  
The view by sort headers were either garbled or gone entirely.

Expected Results:  
Expected headers to be restored as they had appeared before window hide.

have you tried a trunk build? I wonder if the fix for bug 301308 could have helped with this.

David D'Amico: Any reason to leave this bug open?
