438242 - The inbox sometimes stays bold when all new messages are read

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 313694

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Frank Busch]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.14) Gecko/20080404 Firefox/2.0.0.14
Build Identifier: Thunderbird 2.0.0.14 (20080421)

This is not a constant problem, and I can't figure out what triggers it, but here is what happens:

1. I get a new email message.  The message in the main window is bold, and my email account Inbox is bold with a message count.
2. As  I read messages, the message count goes down.
Now, for the problem
3. When I read the last message, the message count goes away, but "Inbox" stays bold and the new mail icon in my program tray doesn't go away.
4. If I navigate away from the Inbox mail list, the problem solves itself.

I know this isn't a very serious glitch, but I figured it's something 

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Get new message
2. Select new message in top right window
3. Check to see if Inbox is still bold (although with no indication of unread messages next to it.
Actual Results:  
Sometimes, Inbox stays bold, and the "[Account] has [x] new messages" icon is still in the program tray.

Expected Results:  
Inbox should go back to regular font and the icon should dissapear

This also happens occasionally for me with two different IMAP accounts.  I haven't seen this from deletions by filter, but I sometimes see it when manually deleting a message.  The bug can actually be seen before deleting, once the message is marked as read (which for me happens as soon as I open it) the unread count goes away but the folder name (not specifically the Inbox) stays bold.  I'm using Shredder, 3.0 b3-pre on 64-bit Ubuntu 9.04.  I've compiled from source, so just let me know if any logs are necessary or if it would be more helpful to recompile with a certain flag in my .mozconfig and provide some output.

Frank if you select another folder and the return on your inbox, new mail icon on systray disappairs?

Yes.  That is correct.
