542583 - Message in future shown in unexpandable group when sorted by date and Group by Sort is selected

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 528016

(Thunderbird :: Folder and Message Lists, defect)

Description

[Charles]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2) Gecko/20100115 Firefox/3.6
Build Identifier: 3.0.1 final

Subject says it all.

I had a spam come in, and the date was in the future. I keep my Inbox sorted by date, newest at the *top* (would you call that ascending or descending where a date is concerned?), and Group by Sort enabled.

The message dated in the future will soon display (I've kept it in my Inbox until I get this bug reported and confirmed) in an unexpandable Group named "1/1".

It doesn't happen immediately though. You have to restart Thunderbird after grouping by sort.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Get message in future in Inbox (not sure how to force this)

2. Sort by date, newest at top

3. View > Sort by > Grouped by sort

4. Note the message in future is displayed in an expanded group at the top named 1/1

5. Restart Thunderbird - it is no in an unexpandable group - clicking on plus sign does *not* expand the group to see the message.
