395495 - Tags menu doesn't work when message opened from cross folder saved search

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 470474

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Matti]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8.1.6) Gecko/20070802 SeaMonkey/1.1.4
Build Identifier: version 2.0.0.6 (20070728)

When I open a message from a saved search folder, the tags won't display and I cannot select the tags from the menu - the menu just appears to have NO tags at all, I see the '0 Remove all tags' and the 'New Tag' entry.
When I open a message from a normal folder, it works as normally.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a tag
2. Create a search folder
3. open a message and click the Tags button
Actual Results:  
The menu doesn't display _any_ tags

Expected Results:  
It should display the set-up tags

Confirmed with Tb 2.0.0.6 and trunk nightly 2007/9/06 build (MS Win-XP SP2).

Workaround:
Add or change tag at mail display pane(preview pane) of the search folder, instead of at standalone mail display window opened from search folder.

In the error console I get:

Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80004003 (NS_ERROR_INVALID_POINTER) [nsIMsgDBView.hdrForFirstSelectedMessage]"  nsresult: "0x80004003 (NS_ERROR_INVALID_POINTER)"  location: "JS frame :: chrome://messenger/content/mailWindowOverlay.js :: InitMessageTags :: line 628"  data: no]

This cause of this bug looks identical to that of bug 470474.

Like that bug, I can't reproduce this one either with 20081230 trunk on Windows, IMAP/local saved searches and the standalone message window (opened using a double click on the message). Can someone else confirm this?

Still get the same error:
Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80004003 (NS_ERROR_INVALID_POINTER) [nsIMsgDBView.hdrForFirstSelectedMessage]"  nsresult: "0x80004003 (NS_ERROR_INVALID_POINTER)"  location: "JS frame :: chrome://messenger/content/mailWindowOverlay.js :: InitMessageTags :: line 559"  data: no]

Linux/20081230/IMAP saved search

This also affects the delete button, the junk button, and the mark button.  This is pretty annoying. :)

I don't see this anymore wiht http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/thunderbird/nightly/latest-comm-central/

I'll try rebuilding and see if this is fixed as Magnus seems to think it might be, and comment again after that.

Comment 8

[Eric Shepherd [:sheppy]]

This still happens for me in a build off the current comm-central code.

Comment 9

[David :Bienvenu]

Eric, is this a saved search across multiple folders?

Comment 10

[Eric Shepherd [:sheppy]]

Ah.  Yes, it is.  It's a saved search showing me all unread messages on all accounts.  Is there a way to get from the entry in the view the message window was opened from to the correct account?

Comment 11

[Magnus Melin [:mkmelin]]

Ah, yes I see it too with cross folder saved searches.

This is a subset of the issue described in bug 470474, and fixing that fixes this as well.
