I'm using the new onselect even in threadpane. I'm not sure if this makes a difference. Open Mailnews Select a folder. Select a message in that folder. Message is displayed Change to a different folder Select a message in the new folder. Message isn't displayed. I've debugged this in my js and it looks like when we change folders, it thinks the number of selected items is equal to the number of selected items in the old folder plus the number of selected items in the new folder which means that no message is displayed since we don't display messages when 2 or more messages are selected. In addition, ever message clicked on is added to the selection without the ctrl or shift keys being pressed. It looks like selection is not reset when the thread pane tree is rerooted. I do happen to know when a new folder is loaded and I could probably clear the selection myself. But, it seems like the tree would want to do this.

This is easy to fix. I was doing this before. I just forgot to move it over.

Should be fixed, assuming that nodes are being removed like they should be.

I'm pretty sure I pulled and built the correct files. I'm stil leeing the same problem. I guess that means we have a leak? I'll try a full build now to make sure.

adding hangas to cc. Right now, will onselect fire when selection is removed? Such as when you use the control key to remove selection or when you reroot a tree. We also need to know this case.

OK. I just tried it out and the removing selection with the control key works. I just wanted to make sure that we get an onselect when rerooting the tree removes the selection.

I've noticed that if you click twice on the same item, then you get more items selected: In ThreadPaneSelectionChange(). Num Selected Items = 3 ctrl-clicking the item reduces this count by one and unselects the current item visually, but then the next time you click or control-click it goes up again.

Bulk move mail/news M10 bugs to M11

This is a dogfood blocker for mail/news so I'm upgrading the severity. I just saw this bug yesterday, so I think it's not fixed.

This needs to be fixed for PR1, so I added a note to the Status Whiteboard. This bug really drives me crazy.

Just an update to note this is on all platforms, changing platform and OS to all. Still happens on 19990908 builds.

*** Bug 13496 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Update: tested with 19990914 win32 build, still a problem

We're working on solutions where we will clear out the selection before switching folders and address books. I think this should work. When we get that working, I'll close out this bug and and open up a new one on the tree widget. I think it should still clear out the selection when rerooting, but if we can work around this, this should be sufficient for beta.

Sorry, that was build 1999091310 M10 build not 19990914

Using build 19990915 on win98 this appears to be fixed. I think a workaround fix went in so this is more user friendly. Scott, did you want this marked as fixed and open a new bug for removing the work around after the real fix goes in? Or do we leave this opened and change the severity? Reassigning to putterman for review

This is fixed for the 3pane. Select a message in one folder. Change folders, and then select a new message. This should work now.

Need to verify on other platforms. Win32 1999091508 build is fine.

Using 19990922 builds on win98, mac and linux this is fixed for all. Verified
