491840 - message header pane and attachmentView not blanked if another folder is selected

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Thunderbird :: Message Reader UI, defect)

Description

[Ilja Sekler]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.2a1pre) Gecko/20090507 Firefox/3.6a1pre
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.1b5pre) Gecko/20090506 Lightning/1.0pre Thunderbird/3.0b3pre

If a message is displayed in the message pane and then a folder in the folder pane is selected, which contains no previously selected messages, Thunderbird doesn't blank the message header pane and the attachment view anymore. It is a very recent regression, my local build dated from 2009-05-05-08 CEST doesn't have this bug.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a message (optionally with attachment(s)) in the message pane
2. Select another mail folder where no message was selected since startup of TB

Actual Results:  
Message headers and attachments from the last selected message are still shown, only the body is blanked.


Expected Results:  
Message headers and the attachmentView are blanked as well.

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.1b5pre) Gecko/20090507 Lightning/1.0pre Thunderbird/3.0b3pre

I'm going to back out the patch that caused this (or at least the part of the patch that caused the problem).
