568309 - Closing and reopening main Thunderbird window resets selected folder/quick filter bar

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Thunderbird :: Folder and Message Lists, defect)

Description

[Greg Hackmann]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; en-US; rv:1.9.2.3) Gecko/20100401 Firefox/3.6.3
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; en-US; rv:1.9.2.4) Gecko/20100526 Thunderbird/3.1

I normally use the Unified Folders view in Thunderbird, with the global Inbox selected, the Inbox folder tree collapsed, and the Quick Filter bar closed.  If I close the main Thunderbird window and then reopen it without quitting Thunderbird, Thunderbird will expand the Inbox folder tree, select the Inbox folder of my first E-mail account, and bring back the Quick Filter bar.

This behavior is new to Thunderbird 3.1.  In Thunderbird 3.0, closing and reopening the window preserved my folder selection and the collapsed Inbox tree.  I also get the Thunderbird 3.0 behavior if I close the Thunderbird window, quit Thunderbird, and then start Thunderbird again -- the bug is only triggered if I reopen the main window without restarting Thunderbird.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Thunderbird in Unified Folders view
2. Close Quick Filter bar
3. Collapse Inbox tree
4. Close Thunderbird window by pressing Cmd-W or red X button
5. Reopen Thunderbird window by clicking on Dock icon
Actual Results:  
Thunderbird expands the Inbox tree, goes to the first (not global) Inbox folder, and opens the Quick Filter bar.

Expected Results:  
Thunderbird reopens the main window with the global Inbox still selected, the Inbox tree collapsed, and no Quick Filter bar.

Does it happen if you launch Thunderbird in safe-mode ? (see https://support.mozillamessaging.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode for more information)

I confirm this bug

I can confirm the failure to remember closed Quick filter Bar preference but I have not had any difficulties with folders.

I would prefer to see these two bugs separated - do others agree?

There may be a series of preferences which are not remembered but It is not clear to me if they share a common cause. See: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=575864

I use TB 3.1 - OS X 10.5.8 - PPC (G4)

I'm no longer seeing this bug as of Thunderbird 3.1.3 (I'm on OS X 10.6.4).

Is it fixed for anyone else with the latest version?

Comment 7

[Alexey Gubanov]

After updating to Tb 3.1.3 this issue was gone
