622966 - Random open messages simply disappear when scroll mouse button is used.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 646111

(Thunderbird :: Message Reader UI, defect)

Description

[Scott]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.13) Gecko/20101203 Firefox/3.6.13 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.13) Gecko/20101207 Lightning/1.0b2 Thunderbird/3.1.7

After downloading message headers, clicking link to view message, message will display fine. if you so much as even touch the scroll mouse button, the message will completely disappear from view. The message is then gone from the server (as expected) but also, nowhere to be found within in any folder or via search. I'm now certain the scroll mouse has something to do with this as the last 3 times it's happened, my finger was on the scroll mouse button and the scroll wheel did move, even if ever so slightly. I'm a longtime tbird user and this has never happened in the past.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. view message headers
2. download messages
3. click download to view message
4. move scroll mouse wheel
Actual Results:  
cannot reproduce every time. perhaps once in 100 messages it can be reproduced.

Expected Results:  
the message should have disappeared leaving a blank window where the message once was.

using default theme, 3 pane setup with folders on the left, message list above right, and message pane lower right.

Is it possible your scroll mouse is somehow sending something like a delete key press to Thunderbird? Or perhaps it instigates drag and drop. The scrolling code doesn't get anywhere near the delete code. Have you checked your drivers for the scroll mouse?

No need to keep this bug hidden.
