62919 - Unread messages indicator shows in Threaded view when all msgs read.

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 64476

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect, P3)

Description

[gary_Cope]

Build 2000120920 win32Talkback.

When browsing messages in threaded view, the unread indicator by the Thread
symbol is shown even when there are no unread messages in the thread.
I have noticed this using many times using both classic and modern themes.

reassigning to sspitzer and cc'ing bienvenu. It's hard to tell without 
investigating whether this is because the RDF code is messing up or because the 
db is providing incorrect thread counts.

I'm getting this in build 2001010820. It seems to be the same bug, but I'm not
sure. There is actually still unread email. If you switch the view to
unthreaded, the unread emails popup. If you switch it to threaded, the email
disappears again.

Another data point. If you have checked View->Messages->Unread and
View->Messages->Threaded, these threads are shown even though they don't contain
any unread messages (which just means the bogus "contains unread" status is also
used in filtering the threads). This makes the Unread/Threaded combination not
much better than plain Threaded (i.e. leaving Unread unchecked), since you can't
tell the difference between these threads and ones that actually have unread
messages until you expand them.

Dup of bug 59681?

Comment 11

[gary_Cope]

The filing of 59681 'Newsgroup incorrectly appears to have unread messages' is 
about the newsgroup in the sidebar showing the correct number.

This bug is about the unread msg indicator in thread view in the 'newsgroup
messages' panel (mentioned in additional comments in 59681).

I dont feel they are duplicates.

I've noticed that even Mark All Read doesn't clear these indicators :-(

This looks like a dup of 64476 "Threads with unread returns false positives".

BTW, I've been waiting for a *month* for somebody to take a look at my patch for
bug 64476 and so far nobody seems to be looking at it despite that bug having 10
votes (and another 20 on bug 59681 that my patch hopefully fixes too) and being
targeted for 0.9.3.

Can somebody take a look at that patch? Please?
