Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Matt Carter]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.3) Gecko/2008092417 Firefox/3.0.3
Build Identifier: Mozilla Thunderbird version 2.0.0.17 (20080914)

If there's already a "Search Messages" dialog box open, right clicking on a folder in the main Thunderbird window and selecting "Search..." from the resulting pop-up context menu merely changes focus to the existing "Search Messages" dialog.  Specifically, in the search dialog, the "Search for messages in:" field may specify a folder _different_ from the one that the user just requested to search.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. From the main Thunderbird window, right-click on folder "Inbox", then select "Search...".
2. From the main Thunderbird window, right-click on folder "Sent", then select "Search...".
3. After "subject" "contains", type "rabbits".
Actual Results:  
A list of messages in Inbox with subject containing "rabbits" is produced.

Expected Results:  
A list of messages in Sent with subject containing "rabbits" should be produced.

Sorry for the delay.
I just retested with the shredder nightly build downloaded from here:
  http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/thunderbird/nightly/latest-comm-1.9.1/
and the problem had been fixed there.

So, it appears to have been fixed sometime since release 2.0.0.23 .
Thank you!
