359974 - Items from second feed in same folder fail to update unread count in Folder pane

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(MailNews Core :: Feed Reader, defect)

TB 2b1-1026

I have an RSS folder with two Craig's List feeds coming in.  One is slightly more active than the first, and I have a filter defined to set a tag on items from that feed (I'm using a filter on the custom header Content-Base, which has a path that I can use to distinguish it).

If all items in the feed folder are read, and new items arrive from the untagged feed, the folder name bolds and the unread-item count is shown.

But if the new items arrive from the tagged feed, the folder name bolds but the unread-tiem count is not shown.

I need to watch this a bit more to see what happens when items from both feeds arrive simultaneously, or for fetches when there are already unread items; will report back.

Steps to reproduce:
1) Set up an RSS account with a feed
2) Set up a filter to tag new items in that feed
3) Await new messages

Actual results:
3) If new items in folder are (all?) tagged, the folder name in the Folder pane is bolded but the unread count is not shown

Expected results:
3) unread count shown along with bolding

I'm no longer convinced that the tag is the story, or at least the whole story.
I tried putting a similar filter that tagged all messages from the sole  subscription in a different folder, and that one updated correctly.

I'm retrying the original feed with tagging turned off; it's possible that the failure to update is due to the busier feed being the second one listed.

Comment 2

Yes, I think comment 1 is correct.  Sorry for the misdirection, I'll morph this to the actual (I think) problem.

Steps to reproduce:
1) Configure an RSS account with a folder
2) Subscribe to two feeds, and direct each into the folder.  The test will work better if the second feed is busier.
3) Await messages

Actual results:
3) If new items in folder are from the second feed, the folder name in the Folder pane is bolded but the unread count is not shown

Expected results:
3) Unread count shown along with bolding

Mike, are you doing any tagging in your most recent way to reproduce the problem?

No, I tested by turning off tagging for the two-feed folder, after tagging in a single-feed folder didn't exhibit the problem.  Sorry that was unclear.

Sometimes, I notice, the folder doesn't even bold; I click on it and it sudden bolds and updates with (1), containing a message with the 2nd feed.  This has happened often enough that I doubt it's a matter of timing.  If I notice a pattern to this, I'll update.

I've also, currently, got Play a Sound turned off, and in 2b1 this is triggered by a new feed item (bug 323911) -- but I'm pretty sure the sound is not being triggered when this bug manifests.

This is still an issue in 2.0.0.21.
Can somebody please take this up & solve it?
