551655 - Setting the start page to http://news.bbc.co.uk/ blocks showing email bodies in gloda list results

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Thunderbird :: Message Reader UI, defect)

Description

[Mark Banner (:standard8)]

From the gs topic:

With START PAGE set to http://news.bbc.co.uk/ and tools > options checked to show the start page in the message pane - when performing a "search all messages" and clicking on one of the found emails, Thunderbird 3 does not show the email message in the message area, but shows the START PAGE only.

With START PAGE set to www.google.co.uk  (or the default) - searching works as expected (a restart of Thunderbird is required).

------

This is strange, but I expect bbc.co.uk is doing something that interferes with page loads.

It doesn't seem to affect the normal 3-pane window though.

Obviously it would be nice to fix this, but is there a need to show the start page in the gloda results window anyway?

howdy Wayne Mery,

not with my default profile. it's fairly well tweaked, tho. i will try it in a new testing profile tomorrow and post back. just took my meds and i am wary of doing anything more complex than what i have tried.

my tbird ua = Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:31.0) Gecko/20100101 Thunderbird/31.2.0

my steps ...
- tools/options/general
- checked "when thunderbird launches, show the start page in the message area"
- added "http://news.bbc.co.uk/" in the "location:" box
- hit ok
- restarted tbird
- selected my default inbox in the folder tree
- pressed ctrl-k to move to the global search box
- entered "friday" and then hit the search icon in that search box
- clicked on the 1st item the resulting list

the result was a normal display of the expected msg. the top half of the screen area showed a msg list with one msg. the bottom half showed the contents of the msg.

as i said, i will try this in a clean profile tomorrow and post back with the results. i'm having problems reading ... [*grin*] 

take care,
lee
