Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: thunderbird
Trying out "tabs" for the first time.
I set my "preferences / advanced / reading & display" settings to:
- Open messages in: a new tab
- Close message window on delete = checked
New messages open in a tab. But if I delete a message, its tab stays
open and it shows another message from that same mail folder. It's as
if the "Close message window on delete" directive is being ignored when
I am using tabs. This is undesirable, because it opens a new message
that I did not explicitly ask for (giving me little control over what is
being displayed on my screen), and it marks that new message as read.
This is exactly the behavior I would expect if "Close message window on
delete" were left UN-CHECKED.
If I am viewing messages in a new WINDOW instead, the window closes
properly when I delete the message.
The work-around is awkward -- I could "X out" the tab, and then go back
to the mail index (which may or may not be focused on the same mailbox
where the message resides) and press "delete" from the index.
