395084 - Values for <mail-urlfield> not getting reset on header expand/collapse, folder change

Status: NEW

(Thunderbird :: Message Reader UI, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.6) Gecko/20070725 Firefox/2.0.0.6
Build Identifier: 


1. expanding to full headers, then back to collapsed, does not set the collapsed=true attribute for #expandedcontent-baseBox.

2. switching from a news account folder message to a mail/newsgroup folder message does not clear the #expandedcontent-baseBox > label child's value attribute (website url).

these 'ghosts' lead to incorrect results based on valid assumptions of header state.

Reproducible: Always

alta88, do you still see this with early release (I would think so, but worth double checking before confirming)

yes, both of these are still true.  but since that new header is so bad, so egregiously terrible, i'm not doing any work in Tb lately..

given we are expecting (and are pushing) people and extensions to tweak the message pane headers, much desired I would think

not sure which, blocking or wanted

i suspect this blocks.

As written, this bug describes problems from the point of view of the DOM.  It's not clear what the actual user-facing problem here is, so I don't think this bug is in a state where we can consider it blocking at the moment.  Can you elaborate on those and renominate if appropriate?  Screenshots seem likely to be helpful here.  Thanks!

it's not a blocker, imo.  nor is it user facing.  it's just a proper software design no-longer-valid-value-should-be-cleared 101 thing.
