Attachment: temporarily bad threading

threading shown incorrectly for 3-5 seconds for a thread where a new message was being inserted ... then corrected itself.  Screen shot I hope shows it all - areas marked in red, before and after.  Note also the message counts to the right.

I know thread display issues exist, but I've never seen one on this vista PC before using the build with checkin for "better faster imap" .  So I'm suggesting this might be a regression.  Or, it might have simply aggravated the existing threading problems.  Flipped a coin between filing as frontend or backend (which won).

Could be a result of fixing bug 262319

I highly doubt it's the imap stuff. It could be the fix for bug 262319 though 3-5 seconds is really weird. We do move threads, but it's done synchronously, so no paint events should happen. Is it possible you moved the mouse over the lines causing a repaint, in which case, this would simply be an invalidation issue.

I don't know whether mouseoever occurred or not. The only thing I can say with certainty is I didn't touch the window with a click.
