52246 - Painting problems while drawing To and CC fields

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect, P3)

Description

I am working on putting the toggle button in front of a list of emails, as 
opposed to at the end of them, if there are too many of them.

When I try to do this, the first email which meets this condition comes up fine. 
After that, any mail with multiple recipients comes up jumbled with recipients 
in previous mail.

When I print the values that go into these To and CC fields onto the console, 
they come out prefectly correct. But they appear totally jumbled up on the 
screen. And the toggle button too just goes away. So I am wondering if this is a 
painting problem.

This is in file mozilla/mailnews/base/resources/content/msgHdrViewOverlay.js
I will attach this file and you can just substitute it in your tree to reproduce 
the situation.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Substitute the attachment for 
mozilla/mailnews/base/resources/content/msgHdrViewOverlay.js
2. compile mozilla/mailnews/base/resources
3. run mozilla and bring up mail
4. click on a message that has 6 or more recipients in To and/or CC field.
5. You would see the toggle button at the beginning of the list.
6. If subsequently you click on a message with a single recipient, things are 
fine.
7. Click on a message with multiple recipients. The list would be jumbled up. It 
would pick up recipients from the first mail in step 4.
8. This would just propagate and things get messed up and toggle button goes 
away.
9. When printed onto the console, this list of recipients looks fine and 
correct.

Adding nsbeta3 keyword and marking 32055 dependent on this bug.

I am clearing the dependency of 32055 on this bug for now. Suspecting the 
problem to be at another place. I will update the bug again if it finally does 
turn out to be a painting problem.

Adding putterman to cc list.
