536633 - Opening a 'closed' message thread does not show the newly opened message lines

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Thunderbird :: Folder and Message Lists, defect)

Description

Attachment: While thread is closed

When viewing a folder in 'threaded' mode, in the list of messages, there is a little right-pointing arrow at the left of the subject of the first message in the thread. Click that arrow to see (some of) the individual messages in the threads. If the message is the bottom row of the message list window, when you click the arrow to open the thread, there is no indication that the thread has opened except the arrow changes direction. Prior, if I recall, the message list was scrolled up in that window to show at least one of the threaded messages below the first one. I would like to see that (again).

Steps to replicate:
Have at least two messages in a thread
Close the message thread to hide the second (and subsequent) messages
Organize the message list window so that thread is on the bottom line of the window
Click the arrow to open the thread
Observe that the opened message(s) remain off screen
