Double-clicking on a thread does not open the latest message

[Pierre Rudloff]

When grouping messages by thread and double-clicking on a thread, it should open every message in the thread in a new tab.
However, it does not open the latest message and instead opens the first message twice (one time correctly and a second time at the end with a messed up character encoding).

Thank you for your bug report, I can't confirm the issue on a standard imap folder clicking on a discussion, the last message is opened correctly and the first one only one. Do you get any warning on the console if your start thunderbird there?

Could you give some details on the type of account you are using?

Note that there is also a snap which is using the upstream provided binary if you want to test if that has the problem?
$ snap install --beta thunderbird

[Pierre Rudloff (rudloff)]

I don't get any warning in the console when I open the thread.
Also, it seems it does not always happen the first time I open a thread (but always the next few times I try).

I am using an IMAP account. (And I could also reproduce on another computer with another IMAP account.)

I could not reproduce with thunderbird 68.4.1 installed from snap (with a new profile).

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

sorry, can you
$ snap refresh --edge thunderbird
it should give the current 68.7 version and try if it's an issue there?

[Pierre Rudloff (rudloff)]

I can still reproduce with 68.8.0 from snap.
