503486 - When a Thread is selected in summary view it changes state

Status: NEW

(Thunderbird :: Folder and Message Lists, defect)

Description

[Ludovic Hirlimann [:Usul]]

Executing test 7750.

   1. make sure mail.operate_on_msgs_in_collapsed_threads is set to true
   2. Select one thread and some messages
   3. Select the thread from the summary view

The thread then changes from collapsed to un-collapsed. Maybe the test is incorrect as the results I noted are that the thread should not change from collapsed state.

The patch in bug 494811 landed after this was filed; it's worth re-testing, I suspect.

Behaviour is still present in Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9.1.1) Gecko/20090715 Thunderbird/3.0b3 (Build1)

https://litmus.mozilla.org/single_result.cgi?id=260408 filed a bug report. which would make bug  567641 a duplicate of this sbug.

davida, Can you confirm the desired behavior for https://litmus.mozilla.org/show_test.cgi?id=7750  i.e. at step 2 the thread stays collapsed or expanded depending on the original state? Currently, that is not happening.

Comment 6

[David Ascher (:davida)]

Hmm.  Indeed.  I'm seeing that when I select a thread heading in the summary page, the thread gets expanded.  

I would say it's likely a real bug, and likely a regression.  I don't know that it's very serious, however.  It's most likely a problem for really long threads.

I tried to find the regression range but on Windows 7 TB crash using release 200901xx or 200903xx :-(

bp-e46cb1a8-2d48-4cb1-b8c4-5e2742100526 is thunderbird.exe@0x63d947 which doesn't match up to anything useful, and I suppose we can ignore if it cant be reproduced in current nightly builds.

Another fun UI bug - can you reproduce using comment 0?

TCW, can you reproduce?

TCW, can you reproduce?

So my mail.operate_on_msgs_in_collapsed_threads is set to true but I'm not quite understanding what's meant by "3. Select the thread from the summary view"

Is step 3 asking to click on one of the multiple messages that appears in the message pane window? If so, I cannot do that.
