Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Thunderbird :: Message Reader UI, defect)

Description

[Cameron]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/534.24 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/11.0.696.65 Safari/534.24
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.2.17) Gecko/20110509 Thunderbird/3.1.10

If you have an email with no text in the body (except a signature) and a quick message in the subject ("Such and such has changed EOM"), then when the message is selected in the inbox the to/from/subject from the previously selected message will continue to be displayed.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Receive email with empty body (except a signature).
2. Click another email the the mailbox.
3. Now click the one with no body.
4. The to/from/subject should still be from the message selected in step 2.

Actual Results:  
I see the header info for the previously selected message.

Expected Results:  
I should see the header info for the currently selected message.

Bug persists when you double click to open the message in a new tab.
I could get around it by making sure it is the first message opened when Thunderbird is started.

Does it happens in -safe-mode (see http://support.mozillamessaging.com/en-US/kb/Safe-Mode) ?
