858951 - Seamonkey Email component does not display any content at all

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 858014

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: General, defect)

Description

[masinick]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:23.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/23.0 SeaMonkey/2.20a1
Build ID: 20130406003001

Steps to reproduce:

Opened the Seamonkey Mail component.  Expected to see a list of folders, messages, and content.


Actual results:

The visible user interface to Seamonkey Mail, as of the Friday and Saturday builds, and also the 0406 Tinderbox build, is completely devoid of any visible content.  I cannot see any messages, folders, or information whatsoever.  The browser component, however, appears to be working normally.

Curiously, the Mail component does seem to be recognizing content; it's just not viewable.

Switching over to Iceape or an earlier instance of Nightly, then messages are viewable as expected..


Expected results:

I consider this a Mail display regression.  The folders, messages, and content should be viewable.

I will check back to see if I can isolate which exact nightly build day this issue was introduced; I think it was either the Thursday or Friday nightly build.

is the latest Nightly Build that I've been able to get properly working; I have reverted to using it; builds from 04-04, 04-05, 04-06, and the latest Tinderbox build that I've tried all exhibit the behavior of not displaying any Mail content; no folders, no Email messages, though the messages are still present; nothing has been removed; this appears to be a display issue, because when I revert versions, it does work, though I do seem to have to utilize the repair folder features in the Properties section to get everything 100% as it should be.
