Package: mozilla-mailnews
Version: 2:1.7.10-1
Severity: important

After a routine apt-get upgrade which brought in Mozilla 1.7.10, the
mail client has serious usability issues. Clicking on a folder often
fails to update the header pane with the contents of that folder,
instead leaving the previously selected folder's cnontents in the
header pane. Entering text in the search box also fails to update the
header pane with the search results much of the time now.

In all cases, repeating the action, or switching away from and back to
the desired folder seems to fix things - as does resubmitting the search
text. However I estimate that about 40% of the time an action which
should result in the header pane switching view doesn't. I've filed this
as important as it's intensely irritating, and after two days of it I'm
considering jumping to Thunderbird or something until it gets fixed, so
I'd say it has a large impact on the usability of the package...

This problem didn't exist in the previous version.
