I'm seeing a problem similar to what was reported in bug #232562.  In accord with the last comment there, I'm filing a new bug report.  

When I open a newsgroup, one thread is generally expanded even though I previously collapsed all threads (including the one that is now expanded).  Unlike bug #232562, (1) it doesn't always happen and (2) it's not always the first thread.  The expanded thread always has a new message.  



Reproducible: Sometimes




Yes, I've also seen this while using Thunderbird in the safe mode.

David if you disable the extensions is the issue still present ?

"Yes, I've also seen this while using Thunderbird in the safe mode." [last line of Description]

Safe mode disables all extensions and themes.  

I've pretty much viewed all the newsgroups in my accounts.  I'll have to wait a few hours for them to repopulate with new messages before I can test this again.

I again saw this problem while using Thunderbird 3 in safe mode.  While Thunderbird was still open, I went to [Tools > Ad-ons] in the menu bar.  The Ad-ons Manager reported that all ad-ons were disabled.

Ho I forgot to ask, if there was any messages in the Tools -> Error console ?

With the All button selected on the Error Console window selected, the window was blank.
