669009 - If I unselect a message, mailnews.remember_selected_message = true still remembers it and displays the message

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1847487

(Thunderbird :: Folder and Message Lists, defect)

Description

[dfghjkjhg]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:5.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/5.0
Build ID: 20110615151330

Steps to reproduce:

In the Config: I set mailnews.remember_selected_message = true.

In the Inbox: I open a received message in TB's message pane (instead of a new window).



Actual results:

Then, when I don't want to see that message any more in TB's message pane, I deselect that message via "[Ctrl] + mouseclick on that message" (Windows 7).

But then, when I open another folder (e. g. trash), and then go back to the Inbox, the previously deselected message is selected again and also displayed/opened again in TB's message pane.
Thus TB still remebers this message.


Expected results:

If a message gets deselected, mailnews.remember_selected_message = true shouldn't remember it any more.

Does this also happens in -safe-mode ?

Anything in Tools -> Error console ?

Comment 2

Same problem in safe mode.
Error console is empty.

I sounds:
   Tb's behavior : If remember_selected_message == true, remeber the newly selectedmessaage.
                            If remember_selected_message != true, don't remeber the newly selected messaage
                            !=== forget already remembered one when false is set, when a message is unselected with false.
   Your expecttio: If remember_selected_message is changed to false, forget all remembered mail in all view of all folders of all accounts.
