389058 - Lost message filters at upgrade time

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[Dave Hylands [:dhylands]]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.4) Gecko/20061023 SUSE/2.0.0.4-1.1 Firefox/2.0.0.4
Build Identifier: version 2.0.0.4 (20070604)

I had been using Thunderbird 2.0.0.4 for several days with the Message Filter dialog open.

Thunderbird detected that a new update was available (version 2.0.0.5 (20070716)) and presented me with a dialog with "Restart Thunderbird" on it.

I clicked on the "Restart Thunderbird" button (the Message Filter dialog was still open at the time) and Thunderbird was upgraded.

When the new version of Thunderbird launched, all of the message filters which I had added to the open Message Filter dialog were gone.

So it appears that the Restart Thunderbird option didn't properly cause unsaved Message Filters to be saved.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Launch Thunderbird 2.0.0.4
2.Open the Message Filter dialog and add a couple of message filters
3.Leaving the Message Filter Dialog open, goto Help->Check for Updates
4.Click Download & Install Now.
5.Click Restart Thunderbird Now
6.Open up the Message Filter dialog and the newly added message filters are gone
Actual Results:  
Added message filters were missing

Expected Results:  
The added filters should not have gone missing

This is not limited to Thunderbird 2.0.0.4.  Bug Number 413680 shows that it also happens with Thunderbird 3pre1 nightly build.
