Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8.1.23) Gecko/20090825 Firefox/2.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8.1.23) Gecko/20090825 SeaMonkey 1.1.18

I have noticed on Seamonkey (and the previous Netscape 7) that after the program has been running for some time (days) the following sometimes happens:
Layout: Classic view
Headers: Normal
In the message pane, a simple header is shown with the small paper clip on the right hand side.
If the header is expanded by clicking on the small arrow head at the left hand side, the header expands downwards to show an attachment box at the right hand side. This normally lists any attachments. 
Once the mail program bug starts, this shows an empty box, and all future attempts at expanding any mail message with attachments continues to show an empty box. This makes accessing the attachment(s) impossible. 
If the message is opened in a separate window (by double clicking on the message in the list of messages window), the attachments are listed correctly, and are accessible.
By closing down the Seamonkey program and re-starting it, the operation returns to normal for some time. 

Reproducible: Sometimes



Expected Results:  
Any attachments should always be displayed and be accessable in the expanded attachment box.

Happens only occasionally, but I thought it should be noted.

Can you reproduce with SeaMonkey v2.0b2?

Reopen if you can reproduce with using an recent Build, and submit actual information.

Haven't noticed the problem in Seamonkey 2, so it must be fixed now.
