388205 - View -> Threads -> "Threads with Unread" changes sorting to "Order Received"

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[Nelson Bolyard (seldom reads bugmail)]

This bug is the same as bug 264941, except that 264941 was about Thunderbird
and is now fixed on the trunk.  The problem persists in SM trunk builds.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Sort by Date, 
then do either
2a. View -> Threads -> "Threads with Unread", or
2b. View -> Threads -> "Watched Threads with Unread"
then observe the sorting order in View->Sort By
3. Sorting is now "Order Received" 

This requires taking a extra step fo resetting the sorting order each 
time the view is changed to one of those two threaded views.

Comments in bug 264941 suggest that the fix for TB there should 
"drop right into Seamonkey's version of this method"

Mike, would you care to fix this for SeaMonkey trunk, too?

I patched /mailnews/base/resources/content/commandglue.js with attachment 254552 [details] [diff] [review] without any modifications (albeit an offset of 59 lines) and landed that on trunk with r/sr=Neil over IRC, a=schrep for landing during tree closure.
