Re: [orca-list] Big Problems with Thunderbird Inbox Listing

[Steve Holmes <steve holmes88 gmail com>]

I have been using a nightly build of Thunderbird from the end of last 
week - around June 5th or so. The message list is working much better 
now. I can actually use the thing now. The only thing I observe now is 
that status icons like Expanded/Collapsed and the unread status doesn't 
reflect a change until I  switch mail folders and come back. That is a 
more minor bug still but at least now we don't accidentally delete the 
wrong messages anymore. I will see about updating the Mozilla bug 
appropriately if not already done so.
