[Sven Romeike]

When you deactivate and activate the quickfilter bar in mozilla thunderbird the text next to the icons in the quickfilter bar disappears until you restart the program

reproduce:

1) start thunderbird
2) uncheck "quickfilter" and check it again in the toolbar
3) notice that the text written next to the icons disappeared
4) restart thunderbird and the text will appear again.

this bug is reproducable and occurs every time.

STR:
1. toggle to show quick filter bar;

3. select one messages into resulset;
4. toggle to hide quick filter bar;
5. here I see a "corrupt" layout (no icons) as show in attached screenshots.

Aureliano do you really mean "no icons" or "no text"? If you mean no icons, then it's a dupe of Bug 616932. When no text, had the window the same width?

[Rsx11m-pub (rsx11m-pub)]

I think it's the same as your other bug. Once the available width for the quick-filter bar is getting too small, the text labels disappear on purpose. Since no icon is available for the "Tag" selector button, it looks empty.

Sorry Richard I mean "no text".
And yes the window has the same width.

[Rsx11m-pub (rsx11m-pub)]

That seems to be a borderline case where the threshold to switch between "icons+text" and "icons only" is crossed depending on the qfb state.

Moving to "Search" component as this is not a theme issue.

I rsx11m.
I disagree, but it's possible that I'm wrong.
I disagree because this reason: if I start TB on my laptop and then I select my Inbox and toggling to show quick filter bar I see with "text + icons" mode.
When I execute STRs in comment #0, I see quick filter bar in "icons only" mode.
For me this sound as incongruent behavior.

Ciao.

[Rsx11m-pub (rsx11m-pub)]

I may not understand your STR correctly, but I get either icons only or icons+text when modifying the window width, and when toggling the QFB with
the handle on the tab (your step #4), it disappears as intended...

[Richard Marti (richard-marti)]

Aureliano can you try to move the folderpane splitter a little bit to the right or left with open QFB. How much have you to move until the text collapses, or after a search, appears?

yes, this fixes the issue... but I dont understand why. During execution of STRs in comment #0 window width don't change.
Then I think this issue can close as dupe of any other.

Another workaround is to enable\disable messages pane (hitting F8)

[Sven Romeike (lun4tic)]

definately upstream cause its on windows as well and also reproducable

[Sven Romeike (lun4tic)]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:11.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/11.0
Build ID: 20120312181643

Steps to reproduce:

i deactivated and then activated the quickfilter button through the bar in thunderbird 11. I tested this in the Ubuntu 12.04 version as well as in the windows version.

Actual results:

when you deactivate the quickfilter bar and then activate it again the icon text in the quickfilter bar disappears until you restart the program

Expected results:

the text should not have disappeared.

[Acelists (acelists)]

What exactly do you mean with "icon text"? You mean the text under the icon on the toolbar to deactivate the quick filter bar? Can you attach a screenshot?

[Sven Romeike (lun4tic)]

I mean the icon texts like "unread, marked, contact, ..." that are the actual quickfilter bar.

I attached before and after screenshots so you see what i mean

[Acelists (acelists)]

This is still not solved even in TB14, Win XP. Just toggling the quick filter bar on/off/on makes the text disappear. TB window is maximized all the time.

[Acelists (acelists)]

Thanks, I see it now. It is already reported.

I can't seem to reproduce this on current trunk (TB32), but I can with TB24. Does anybody still see it on current trunk?

[Aryx-bugmail (aryx-bugmail)]

Steps to reproduce on trunk and release:
1. Have Inbox selected.
2. Select account name in folder pane
3. Switch back to Inbox.
It's possible that one needs several tries to reproduce the issue.

Details:
When selecting the account, onOverflow will run
http://mxr.mozilla.org/comm-central/source/mail/base/content/quickFilterBar.js#333
and collapse the buttons:
http://mxr.mozilla.org/comm-central/source/mail/base/content/quickFilterBar.js#359

The expansion of the labels should be done by onWindowResize
http://mxr.mozilla.org/comm-central/source/mail/base/content/quickFilterBar.js#371
but that only runs for window resizes:
http://mxr.mozilla.org/comm-central/source/mail/base/content/quickFilterBar.js#34

[Bugzilla-fbi (bugzilla-fbi)]

I had this issue for a while and then installed the extension "expression-search" which is also handling the quick filter bar. The developer of this extension fixed the disappearing-text-issue years ago, maybe his code could help. The reason of this bug is, in his words, "the shrink value depends on the total length of the search bar and the length contains the (hidden) 'quick search filter' text box".

Maybe someone who understands what this means could compare the extension's and Mozilla's code and fix this for those who don't use this extension.

[Zellermichael (zellermichael)]

This bug reappears in Thunderbird 52.0 Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64; rv:52.0) Gecko/20100101 Thunderbird/52.0 (and I believe also in its most previous version).

Steps to reproduce:
1.) Use the classic view of TB's window-layout.
2.) Deactivate message (preview) pane by pressing F8 on your keyboard.
3.) Activate and deactivate (toggle) Quick Filter Toolbar, which you can do in any given manner.
4.) The text will disappear, due the fact, that the "search this message CTRL + SHIFT + K" searchbar gets a little bit bigger, instead of staying the same size.

Workaround:
Keep the message pane always activated.

Also restarting TB or opening a new tab will clean up the layout and show the text Quick Filter Toolbar again.

[Zellermichael (zellermichael)]

> 4.) The text will disappear, due the fact, that the "search this message
> CTRL + SHIFT + K" searchbar gets a little bit bigger, instead of staying

Sorry, I made a small translation failure; it really should say "search these messages CTRL + SHIFT + K" instead of "search this message CTRL + SHIFT + K"

BTW: Where's the edit button for bugzilla comments? ;-)

Hello Sven,
Thank you for submitting this bug and reporting a problem with Thunderbird.

You made this bug report in 2012 and there have been several versions of Ubuntu and Thunderbird since then.

Could you confirm that this is no longer a problem and that we can close the ticket?
Or, if it is still a problem, could you run the following (only once):
apport-collect BUGNUMBER

and upload the updated logs and and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue.

Thank you again for helping make Ubuntu and Thunderbird better.

G

[Paul White (paulw2u)]

I can confirm this issue with Thunderbird 60.2.1 and Ubuntu 18.04
Upstream bug is a duplicate of #616933 so changing

[Vseerror-i (vseerror-i)]

Does this still reproduce?
WFM with nightly build. And quick filter bar is heavily changed in recent versions.
