Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:10.0.2) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/10.0.2 Iceweasel/10.0.2
Build ID: 20120217174734

Steps to reproduce:

Scroll with the mouse wheel in the message list.


Actual results:

Sometimes, there is display corruption.  It seems to be that when I stop scrolling, part of the message list didn't finish updating with the final position.

If I move the mouse cursor over message headers in the list, they then update correctly.  If I slide the mouse to the side out of the message list window, the list immediately updates correctly when the cursor leaves.  Trying to take a screenshot also causes the list to finish updating :-)


Expected results:

The message list should be updated correctly.
I tried with all add-ons disabled and I still see the problem.

Below is the trouble shooting info from Thunderbird.

Will that is bad! Anyway, this might provide a clue to the developers. I also tried to find a similar bug but couldn't find.
I find I can make it happen more often if I'm moving the scroll wheel back and forth quickly in the message list.

I tried that but I still cannot reproduce it here:
User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:11.0) Gecko/20120327 Thunderbird/11.0.1
Application Build ID: 20120327115527

I use Slackware 13.37 + XFCE 4.6.2
So it could be related to several differences:

Debian vs Slackware sw levels
x86_64 vs i686
NVidia graphics and driver vs whatever you're running
Gnome-shell vs XFCE

What next?

I think you should report this issue to the OS support developers. Maybe they have an idea. And you can still keep this bug open and get back to it for updates so we can also learn.
Jerry, what have you learned?
