372350 - Remove cycler on the folder pane header label

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Scott MacGregor]

Currently I have a cycler on the label that says "All Folders". Clicking on this label cycles you through the folder views. But there's no style on the label to give any indication that the label can be clicked on.

And the cycler silently acts as a phantom tab tabbing through the various panes (See Bug 372253).

Let's just remove the cycler.

the fix

I'm going to check this in tonight anyway because this change is very simple, but I wouldn't mind a back up review in the morning David.

I rather like the cycler.  Is there no other way to get rid of the phantom tab?

the fix

I use the little arrows myself - however, if you know about the cycler, it's easier to click on, I'm sure.

I had reported the loss of this in bug 377067 which has just been marked "invalid" and this bug was referenced.

I see that this one is marked VERIFIED FIXED.

If the cycler is fixed, then it's broken at least in my TB (20070326).

If I am understanding things, the "cycler" is the area to the left of the arrows where the text "unread folders", "recent folders", "all folders", and "Favorite folders" live, correct?  Seems to me that clicking on this text should cycle through the folder options.
