367896 - messages don't show in threaded view with this 3 msg mbox (show in unthreaded view). messages that claim to be children (in-reply-to) of each other

Status: NEW

(MailNews Core :: Backend, defect)

Description

[Magnus Melin [:mkmelin]]

As Wayne noticed with the bug 321495 attachment 207004 [details] mbox

When sorting in date order, messages show in thread pane OK
- however, in threaded mode the message thread disappears

Sorting by date and restarting makes the messages show again, but in threaded view the results are very strange.

Seen on Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.2pre) Gecko/20070123 Thunderbird/2.0b2pre ID:2007012303, trunk too.

Interesting, with the testcase (on trunk) as soon as I click on the folder i crash - no breakpad or anything:(

Comment 5

[Magnus Melin [:mkmelin]]

I've crashed a few times now due to bug 454053 and got breakpad showing, for this crash I still don't get any breakpad...

Magnus, the crash with the test case from bug 321495 is a stack overflow. I'm investigating it now - nsMsgHdr::GetIsKilled is recursing infinitely because of a bogus threading structure. Do you know if there's a separate bug open on that issue?

Comment 7

[Magnus Melin [:mkmelin]]

Not that I know of, no.

Ugh, bugzilla is being annoying. What we have here is two messages that claim to be children of each other, specifically, in-reply-to each other. We have been trusting of these claims up until now, but I guess we have to sanity check them.

david: please file a bug against product:bugzilla :), attach the relevant messages.

Comment 10

[David :Bienvenu]

sorry, timeless, they weren't bugzilla messages; if bugzilla was doing that, it would be beyond annoying :-) clicking back from edit attachments keeps telling me it wants to repost, even though I didn't change anything, so I was losing comments.

oh! (well at least you figured out how i misinterpreted what you wrote) disable javascript (use noscript), the problem is the YUI keyword chooser.

Comment 12

[David :Bienvenu]

while I'm trying to deal with various threading edge cases, I might as well try to deal with this one.

bienvenu, this has addressed in another bug, no?

Comment 15

[David :Bienvenu]

no, not the last time I checked...I think I've dealt with similar things in other bugs, where we got confused about which message was a reply to which message, but this is a case where the messages themselves are actually lying.

moving off blocking list. Would be really nice to fix, though
