Status: NEW

(Thunderbird :: Toolbars and Tabs, defect)

Description

[Joachim Herb]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; de; rv:1.9.1.7) Gecko/20091221 Firefox/3.5.7
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; de; rv:1.9.1.7) Gecko/20100111 Lightning/1.0b2pre Thunderbird/3.0.1 ID:20100111101938

Navigation between messages not possible if tried from a (single message) tab after restart of Thunderbird.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a message in a new tab. Then you can navigate through the messages within the folder, the message was opened from. For this you can either use the menu (navigation->next->(unread) message) or the keys f/b or n/p.
2. Close Thunderbird (without closing the tab) and start Thunderbird again.
3. Go to the tab with the single message. 
4. Try to navigate to other messages.
Actual Results:  
Nothing happens when trying to step to next/previous message.

Expected Results:  
Display the next/previous message.

This bug was first found when using the real next/previous message buttons of the Buttons! add-on https://addons.mozilla.org/de/thunderbird/addon/106 but it seems independent of it. It happens also with this add-on disabled.

Confirmed with Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.7) Gecko/20100111 Thunderbird/3.0.1 with given steps to reproduce.

Apparently an issue with session restore loosing track of from which account or folder the message was opened. No duplicate found.

Joachim, does this still reproduce for you when using a current version?
