collapse/uncollapse icons in sidebar mail account list occasionally unresponsive

[Ryan Nowakowski]

Binary package hint: evolution

The triangle icon that collapses/uncollapses mail box lists in the sidebar doesn't always respond when I click on it. I have 2 IMAP mail accounts setup.

Steps:
   1. setup 2 imap accounts (I'm using SSL on port 993 on one of them. I don't know if this matters)
   2. try to collapse/uncollape the folder list in the sidebar using the left mouse button on the triangle icon
   3. the folder list doesn't collapse/uncollapse <- this is the bug
   4. now, right click on that same collapse/uncollapse triangle icon (this opens a popup menu)
   5. close the popup menu by left clicking somewhere else
   6. goto step 2 (it should work this time)

Steps 4-6 might provide some insight as to why it's broken.

I am having this same problem under lucid. The icons never work unless I right click them first.

Upstream bug was marked duplicate, not invalid. I dunno what the bug watcher is up to. Setting watch URL to the real bug.
