Description:   Opened: 2013-10-13 11:11
I've been using QuickFolders for years. I just have one top tab for each of my
11 email accounts. Nothing more complicated than that. Recently, I believe
since the latest version update, when I click on a tab with new mail in it, or
just another tab I want to switch to, most of the time it does not switch to
that tab. I find I'm in the same email account I had been. I have to click
again to get to the other tab.

I have Thunderbird 24.0.1 and the latest QuickFolders.

I've searched options, to see if it was switched to something like
"doubleclick" to get to a new tab, rather than single click, but there is no
such option I can find in all the settings. I'm pretty sure all these years
I've only had to click one to switch!

It is possible that it is related (but not a duplicate of) [Bug 25598]. I will
upload a beta here because it might be fixed with the related code.

3.12.2 prerelease 18

Try this one first, it might already fix the bug.

And if it doesn't work please add an error log: Tools > Error Console. I highly
recommend console2 addon for this (and switch of content logging only activate
chrome logging) as you can copy the errors as text file, which is way easier to
read for me.

I'm sorry - but this doesn't self-install when opened. How do I go about doing
the upgrade?

ONce you have saved the file to your computer, simply pull it into your Addons
list.

Tools > Addons
Click on Extensions
Pull the file into the extensions list

I installed the #18 update. Rebooted. Used for a few hours. Still not switching
to folder on first click like it used to.

How to set up debug settings

In order to see what is happening we need to look at your error console log.
Click on Tools > Error Console to see whether there are any errors. To put
everything in context, please turn on Debug mode.

QuickFolders Options > Advanced > Activate Debug mode

Right-Click on Debug mode and also enable
extensions.quickfolders.debug.events
extensions.quickfolders.debug.folders
extensions.quickfolders.debug.mouseclicks

Before you click on a quickfolders tab, clear the error console completely.
Take a copy of the contents of the error console straight after you have
clicked the QuickFolders Tab. Also, is the tab highlighted as current folder
(underlined) when you click for the first time?

Also, which folders do the Top tabs represent, is it the inbox of each of your
accounts?

Here is the expected output of the Error Console, as taken from my system, when
I click on a QuickFolders tab (where folder selection works with a single
click):

QuickFolders {MOUSECLICKS} 20:48:49.823  [175486 ms]     
onButtonClick - isMouseClick = true
 ----------
QuickFolders {FOLDERS} 20:48:49.824  [1 ms]      
unread (displayed): 0 - total:(not displayed): 131
 ----------
QuickFolders {FOLDERS} 20:48:49.828  [4 ms]      
QuickFolders_MySelectFolder:
mailbox://axelg@pop.vodafone.ie/Development/Mozilla/Addons/Quickfolders
 ----------
QuickFolders {EVENTS} 20:48:49.862  [34 ms]      
event: FolderLoaded
 ----------
QuickFolders {FOLDERS} 20:48:49.863  [1 ms]      
unread (displayed): 0 - total:(not displayed): 131
 ----------
QuickFolders {EVENTS} 20:48:49.866  [3 ms]       
event: FolderLoaded
 ----------
QuickFolders {FOLDERS} 20:48:49.867  [1 ms]      
unread (displayed): 0 - total:(not displayed): 131


==============
the function QuickFolders_MySelectFolder is the key thing here, and it creates
the "FolderLoaded" event which Thunderbird should react to. Looking forward to
seeing what you get instead.

Another version - please test with  debug mode and tools > error console.
------- Comment #10 From Axel Grude 2013-11-06 12:48:06 -------
It appears that the most important condition of this bug is that you are in a
single message view. QuickFolders is currently not designed to navigate away
from a single message, no matter what tab you click; however there is another
bug that already deals with a request to change this behavior which is more
suitable  [Bug 25608] I will mark this as duplicate and continue working on
this there.

This kind of / almost does it (opens a new tab if necessary) but it doesn't
alkways switch to "read messages" mode so it might still require an additional
unwanted click. But it is a good step towards the desired behavior.

Please test relentlessly!
