[Bug 887952] [NEW] Indicator doesn't lose unread status unless explicitly clicked

 

Public bug reported:

If Thunderbird has a new message in Inbox but another folder is open at
the time, both the Messaging menu indicator and the counter on the
window show the message as unread, but will not deactivate if the folder
is switched and the message read. The only way to get rid of them is to
explicitly click the folder name in Messaging menu.

How to reproduce:
1. Open Thunderbird, switch to any folder other than Inbox.
2. Send an e-mail to yourself, wait until it arrives in Inbox.
3. Switch to Inbox, select the message just arrived so it is marked as read.
4. Observe Messaging menu and Thunderbird window icon.

Expected results:
After the message is read, Messaging menu is inactive, and Thunderbird window icon has no unread message count.

Actual results:
Messaging menu is still active (blue), shows 1 unread message in Inbox; Thunderbird window icon shows 1 unread message as well.
