398164 - Tag temporarily appears on wrong message

Status: NEW

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[abrown]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8.1.7) Gecko/20070914 Firefox/2.0.0.7
Build Identifier: 2.0.0.6 (20070728)

If you are currently viewing message 'A' and right-click on (a different) message 'B' to add a tag, the tag appears on message 'B' and also in the header area of message 'A' that is currently being viewed.  It goes away from message 'A' if you move to message 'C' then back to message 'A'.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. View a message (message A) in the message pane
2. Right-click on a different message (message B) in the mail list pane 
3. Add or remove a tag (e.g. add the Important tag) using the pop-up menu
Actual Results:  
The chosen tag is applied to the desired message (message B) in the mail list pane and also appears in the header area of the current message (message A) in the message pane.  Message A does not get the tag permanently (the header will fix itself if message A is deselected and reselected again)

Expected Results:  
The tag should be applied to message B in the mail list pane.  Nothing should happen to message A in the message pane.

Problem is re-produced with Seamonkey 1.1.4 and Thunderbird trunk nightly 2007/9/30 build(MS Win-XP SP2) => Core issue.

(not surprisingly) only happens to selected message A in 3-pane window, not to standalone window.
