User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8.0.4) Gecko/20060508 Firefox/1.5.0.4 Build Identifier: Thunderbird version 1.5.0.4 (20060516) and previous Cosmetic bug - dual-boot system, running SuSE 10.0 and Windows 2000 (FAT-32). Thunderbird user data file stored in Windows partition, accessed from both OS's. Inbox sorted by date. View pane order is "descending" in Linux when "ascending" in Windows, and vice-versa. Changing ascending/descending sort in either OS affects both, but view is always sorted opposite when booted into the other OS. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install Thunderbird in Windows, create user mailbox. Download some messages; click "Date" tab to sort messages either ascending or descending. 2.Reboot in Linux, mount Windows partition R/W 3.Install Thunderbird in Linux, set Thunderbird data file location into Windows data file (absolute file location, not relative to ~/.Thunderbird) 4.Start Thunderbird in Linux, open Inbox if not default Actual Results: Messages from Windows Inbox, in Linux Inbox window are all present, but date sort is reversed - if messages were "date ascending" in Windows, they are "date descending" in Linux. Expected Results: Expected ascending/descending sort to be the same on both OSs. Looks like different interpretation of the same flag. Both OS's correctly read all data put into the file by either system. Reversing sort order in either OS affects the display in both OS's. Trivial workaround - click the "date" bar again and the sort order is reversed, just do it each time when switching OS's.
now OK in 1.5.0.5
