557535 - Empty mail/new article after network glitch remains empty

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 540288

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[Bertrand Denoix]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.23) Gecko/20090825 MultiZilla/1.8.3.4e SeaMonkey/1.1.18

Under TB, I often get blank mail or NG posts after clicking on the entry in the  list window (or doing a "next"). "View message source" also shows a blank page (so it's not a messages with empty text)(and it view/reload menu seems inneffective). I attribute this to network glitches caused by unreliable Wifi. I think to remember that under TB2, it would just be a matter of switching to another message and then coming back to the empty one to have it reloaded and correctly displayed. But now this doesn't work, to have the message displayed I have to shutdown TB and restart. I'd say there is an overzealous cache somewhere that should be prevented from caching empty messages (or network problems detection should be improved).




Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Use bad Wifi
2.Follow NG or mail
3.Repeat until you get a blank email/NG post
4.Try to get message to reload.
