Details

buildid: 2001-02-19-09 on win98 I saw this while testing for bug 64753. When you 'compact this folder' from the context menu item. The thread pane goes blank. This behavior is seen on all platforms and irrespective of which folder you are trying to compact. steps to produce: select a folder with many messages Delete a few messages in that folder and make sure after you delete you still have messages in the thread pane that you see. select the folder in the folder pane right click and do 'compact this folder' actual result: The thread pane is blank you don't see the any messages at all. The messages are there not all of them are deleted but are not seen. To see the messages back you have to click on the folder again. expected result: compacts the folder and you still are able to see messages in the thread pane after compaction.
change qa contact to myself. this is a regression bug. adding keyword nsbeta1 so that this bug gets fixed. This appears as though the remaining messages are lost after compaction.

Sheela, this isn't a regression - it's always been this way in 6.0. It would be nice to fix, but it's basically on purpose. There may be a regression if it appears that the folder is still selected - as I remember, we unselect it.
