499303 - Changing retention-period preferences manually does not update UI even if Account Manager is reopened

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(MailNews Core :: Account Manager, defect)

Description

[rsx11m]

This was observed in bug 326584 comment #30 where a change of a preference did not result in a respective change of the UI status, thus the checkbox settings are retained and not updated when reopening that Account Manager page:

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open Synchronization & Storage and verify "delete read messages" status;
2. close Account Manager;
3. open Config Editor and toggle respective mail.server.server#.keepUnreadOnly;
4. close Config Editor and go back into Account Manager;
5. note that checkbox has *not* been updated, click Ok;
6. go back into Config Editor and note that pref has been toggled back.

This may affect other options and/or Account Manager pages as well. Note that for this particular checkbox to test, you will have to unhide it with the following userChrome.css code added:

.keepUnreadOnly { display: -moz-box; }

Reconfirmed, this is still observed after the bug 499306 patch was checked in.

Nice, this is no longer reproducible in Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.5pre) Gecko/20091010 Shredder/3.0b4pre, thus apparently the patch for bug 515316 fixed this one as well.

Declaring WFM, please reopen if anybody sees this again.
