When starting up and when changing Category via the QF Category drop down the
current folder is not marked as active (*underlined and special color applied).
It gets marked once another folder is selected either via click on a
QuickFolders tab or an item from the folder tree.

This was introduced with some preformance improvements that came with 3.12.
Should be easy enough to fix.

THis should fix the problem

QF 3.12.2pre5

At startup, the current folder's tab is highlighted. However, I start in Junk
with the help of the Folderpane Tools extension.

I'm not sure what is meant by "the QF category drop-down".

This shows as soon as you create categories for your tabs (which is advisable
if you have more than 30 QF tabs). It acts as a filter for showing a subset of
tabs.

I am not sure whether SeaMonkey is even affected by the bug I would have to
re-test with the old version...

Ah, I see. I have 16 tabs and no categories AFAIK. I see now the "QuickFolders
commands → Set Category" menuitem on the folder-tab context menu.

In my experience the Sm mailer differs much less from Thunderbird than the
browser differs from Firefox, but they aren't quite identical.

After posting comment #3 I also noticed that I'm on Linux while this bug is
billed for Windows. With most extensions it ought not to make a difference but
I don't know the QF internals (and the mailer internals with which it
interacts) so I can't tell for sure.

Tony, 
can you confirm if the bug is still unfixed on SeaMonkey (without using
Categories). Otherwise I would like to mark as fixed.

QF 3.14pre20

I can't reproduce it — but I never could. In particular, whenever the current
folder has a QF tab assigned to it (be it the Junk folder made current at
startup by the Folderpane Tools extension, a folder selected by clicking it in
the left [tree] pane, by clicking its tab, or even by means of the Go menu)
that tab always displays the specific background for the "current" folder, not
the default or user-selected background which that same tab would display if
its folder weren't current. That tab's name is also underlined. Conversely,
whenever there is no QF tab for the current folder, no tab displays that
specific background and underlining.

I still don't have any Categories defined.

marking as fixed with release 3.12.4
