42490 - Sorting no longer works in folder pane

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect, P3)

Description

[scottputterman]

The folder pane has a sort applied to it and it's no longer working.  If it 
were, the Inbox would show up at the top followed by the other "special" folders 
and then the rest of the folders would be listed alphabetically.

I fixed this by backing out the changes to threadpane.xul and folderpane.xul. 
But this bug should still exist until we figure out what went wrong.

I'm marking nsbeta2.  If those changes that were backed out are necessary 
elsewhere, we may need to check them back in (and figure out what is wrong 
w/sorting as a result) by beta2.

ScottP, so you've worked around? Is that enough for beta2? Or are the changes 
you backed out required for beta2?

I looked at the tinderbox log.  On 6/13, hyatt checked in a new version of 
threadpane.xul and folderpane.xul to fix bug 
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30511.  

So, I would guess that if bug 30511 needs to be fixed for beta2, then we may 
have this bug occur. Not sure.  Perhaps we should mark this bug dependent on 
30511 (ie. to check once bug 30511 is marked fixed again).

Putting on [nsbeta2-] radar...not critical to beta2.
