Using jun14 builds on Linux rh5.2, NT 4.0 and Mac OS 8.51

When you cancel a news message (and confirm the cancel), the message is not
removed from the thread pane. Even if you select another message or group and
return, the message appears listed in the thread pane. Even exiting and
returning doesn't do it.

Another issue (which may be part of bug #7778) is that the contents of the
message pane are not cleared until you make another selection then return to the
cancelled posting, at which time you'll see the "bad article" error message in
the message pane.

1.  Launch messenger using prefs specifying news server & group.
    I had one server specified, news.mozilla.org and used netscape.test
2.  Open netscape.test, select a message you posted.
    Edit|Delete Message.
Result:  message still appears in thread pane and the message contents still
display in message pane.  Select another message and find the cancelled message
is still displayed in the thread pane. It should not be.  Message header still
displays even after exit.

I'm using today's linux m17 build and I didn't have a problem --  cancelled
message doesn't return. No problem for me.
Spoke with lchiang and triage team.   Will not hold beta2 for this.  Putting on 
[nsbeta2-] radar.
Whiteboard: [nsbeta2-]
I think I got results for passed & failed depanding on whether I am using 
migrated profile or not:
1) If I am using a migrated profile -- it will pass, the cancel messages will be 
removed from the thread pane within the same session without exit.
2) if I am using a new profile -- it will fail, the cancel messages will NOT be 
removed from the thread pane within the same session even exit and relaunch 
again.
If this will be nsbeta2-, I will suggest to release note for this problem.
Ccing David (since Seth is out), do you know why this problem is ONLY occurring 
on new profile? Adding new profile on the summary to specify this problem!!

Same result as Kanren
Migrated profile: passed
New profile: failed



For M18 builds, please see bug 47236
Clear nsbeta2- & nsbeta2 since beta2 is over. 
Adding nsbeta3, regression for the keywords.
Keywords: nsbeta2 → nsbeta3, regression
Whiteboard: [nsbeta2-]
Whiteboard: [nsbeta3-]
This is still occurring on the current build.
Since it will misleading users thinking that the cancel messages haven't been 
removed, so I am removing the nsbeta3- to renominate this bug again.
Whiteboard: [nsbeta3-]
nsbeta3-.  We originally gave this a minus because the cancel actually works, 
because we think most news users will be migrators and won't hit it.  In 
addition, it meet the current P1 or P2 criteria of data loss, crash, major 
feature failure.
Whiteboard: [nsbeta3-]
accepting.

is this still happening?  I thought navin fixed this. cc'ing naving.
I didn't see it happen using dec13 commercial trunk builds (I tried with win98
and mac OS 9.0, assume linux is same).  Will close as worksforme.

There may be some weird cases where it may still happen, but in the
straightforward cases, it appears to be working. If we find any problem case,
Stephen can log a new bug.
