GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 410232
parent folder read/unread state does not get updated
Last modified: 2007-05-16 13:00:21 UTC
A folder with subfolders will be drawn bold if any of the subfolders contain unread messages. The problem is that the bold/normal is not switched right away if the subfolders change. The text is only updated if a redraw happens for some reason. I'll attach a patch to address this. What the patch does is to walk up the folder hirachy and triggers "row_changed" events for each folder. GTK+ will then redraw the rows.

Benjmin, I think you should do this only if the parent is in collapsed mode and not if it is in expanded state. We do the same for message threads too. Otherwise there are high chances of confusion. But otherwise a nice thought!
Oh, just noticed that the bug has been fixed. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 352713 ***
