Summary: Sorting/threading is broken for some messages (with
option "Thread Messages")
Product: kmail
Version: 1.9.9
Platform: Debian testing
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs kde org
ReportedBy: thomas.friedrichsmeier ruhr-uni-bochum de
Version: 1.9.9 (using KDE 3.5.9)
Installed from: Debian testing/unstable Packages
This report shows some similarities to bug #139860 (but I did not import the
mails in question), and bug #157209 (but this one only occurs in conjunction
with the "Thread Messages") option.
Problem:
Some mails keep jumping to the top of the folder. The mails in question were
all sent via bugs.launchpad.net. All start have a subject starting with "[Bug
123456]". Not all mails from bugs.launchpad.net are affected, but most are.
Looking at the messages sources I fail to make out any pattern.
The behavior on those mails is absolutely weird:
1) If I sort the folder according to a new criterion, the messages are
correctly sorted, where they should belong.
2) Now I switch to another folder, and then back to the one containing the
messages. I scroll all the way up in the message list - the messages are
sitting on top again.
3) I move a mail or two out of the folder. The strange messages jump back into
place.
4) Repeat step 2 with the same result.
5) This effect is independent on both sort order and sort criterion. I.e.
whatever sorting is used, these messages come out on top when switching to the
folder.
6) The effect disappears when the "Thread Messages" option is turned off. The
"Thread Messages also by subject" option does not make any difference with
respect to the bug. Switching either option on / off has the *temporary* effect
of bringing the messages back to a sensible place. If "Thread Messages" is on,
step 2 applies again.
7) All mails in question are shown as top-level mails when "Thread Messages" is
on, even though many are part of threads. When toggling the "Thread Messages"
option off, then on, the messages are temporarily threaded correctly. After
step 2, they are all shown as top-level mails again. For this symptom, changing
the sorting (see steps 1&5) has no effect (messages are sorted correctly, but
remain non-threaded).
