72386 - Outliner: Expanding/Collapsing a thread messes up the currently selected item

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 72256

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[Håkan Waara]

This is what I experience daily while surfing the newsgroups:

Reproduce it like this:

1. Go to a newsgroup which has some thread
2. Select an item below the main thread row with a "+". The thread may be
collapsed or expanded.
3. Now toggle the "+"/"-", so click on it while having the item under it selected.

Example:

If you have a thread, initally collapsed like this:

+  Blah
   Other message
   Another message

then select the "Other Message": ("//" is for the selected item)

+ Blah
  //Other message//
  Another message

now, expand the thread:

- Blah
  -- //Re:Blah//
  Other message
  Another message


Other message should be selected; the currently selected row should change when
you expand/collapse a thread.

It was hard to explain this, I hope you all understand now. :)

I would figure this is the case for *all* threads throughout the app, so this
may also appear in the message pane for POP/IMAP and such.

I think this is a dup of 72256.
