738575 - Broken message body encoding when switching from Classic to Wide View

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1287336

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Andrey Aksyonov]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:11.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/11.0
Build ID: 20120312181643

Steps to reproduce:

Switched from Classic View to Wide View.


Actual results:

The message body text that is in Russian got garbled.
This happens for both UTF-8 and Windows-1251 encodings.

The same garbled text appears when you open Message Source window.


Expected results:

The message text should be shown in the same encoding.

The same behaviour is confirmed on Windows Vista.

(In reply to Andrey Aksyonov from comment #1)
I get the same issue here:
User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:11.0) Gecko/20120312 Thunderbird/11.0
Application Build ID: 20120312195326

The message in question is:
Content-Type: text/html; charset="windows-1256"
Switching to any view produces the issue. Changing the highlighted message to something else and back to the original message (which is in Arabic) fixes the issue.

Problem is observed in Tb 11.0.1 on Japanese Win-XP, with charset=GB2312.
(1) Original display of mail with charset=GB2312.

  Note: actual data is "日本語の文字ABCDEひらがなカタカナ"(no quote) in Shift_JIS
(2) After View/Layout change.
  鎿旀澁宀呭伜鏆ュ袱ABCDE鍌傚倻鍋戝伌鍍囧優鍍囧儷
View/Character Encoding still shows "GB2312 checked".
It looks that "utf-8 binary converted from GB2312 characters" is interpreted as charset=GB2312.
(3) Mail is correctly shown by next operations(force reload of mail). 
  - Setting change at View/Character Encoding(including select GB2312 again)
  - View other mail, then view the mail again
