The Bat! - bug report (Disappearing toolbar buttons/menu commands)

[Andrey G. Sergeev (AKA Andris)]

Hello The Bat! developers and TBUDL members!


I'm using The Bat! Version 1.41 Serial Number 590E2F15 under Windows 95
4.0 Build 1111  B and would like to report a bug.


The bug description:

Most of the toolbar buttons and corresponding menu commands becomes
unavailable (grayed) after deleting some messages when:
- You're working with some folder in a separate windows (in other
terms, you're "browsing" this folder);
- You set the folder's view mode to "View threads... By references" and
"Sort by... Creation time". The affected folder should of course
contains threaded messages.


Steps to reproduce the bug:

Open some folder in a new window using "Browse" command. Set folder's
view mode to "View threads... By references" and "Sort by... Creation
time". You should see discussion threads. Point to any thread (I will
call it "Thread_1") and press Ctrl+GrayPlus to expand it. Point to some
other thread ("Thread_2") next or not far (in order to reproduce the bug
easier) to the previously expanded one. Press Ctrl+GrayPlus again. Now
you should select (using Ctrl+Left Click or Shift+Left Click) _all_
messages in the Thread_1 _and_ at least one message - top-level or at
any of the step-down levels - in the Thread_2. Let's see the bug now -
press Del or click the Trash icon on the toolbar and when selected
messages successfully disappears you will got partially disabled toolbar
and of course, a corresponding menu commands :-[ ]. There is no cure for
that situation even if you click on any retained messages - you will
still be able to view them but in fact you couldn't delete, reply,
forward etc. But if you double-click on any message in this "defective"
:-) window a new windows opens and you will have a working toolbar/menu
again. You can also close a window with disabled toolbar and open it
again from the main TheBat! window.

It seems to me that after this deletions TB loses some internal "roots"
or bindings to the messages BUT only in the affected window. The main
program window or any other windows displaying this folder remains
untouched.

If anyone becomes interested in screenshots (.gif) illustrating the steps
required to reproduce this bug I can send them upon a request.
