Original Redmine bug id: 6048
Original URL: http://redmine.yorba.org/issues/6048
Searchable id: yorba-bug-6048
Original author: Ryan Lerch
Original description:

Currently, when loading a large thread, the only feedback that something is
happening is the spinner at the bottom of the left pane.

Would it be suitable to have a spinner in the right pane (the message view),
rather than just the empty greyness?

  * **Target version** set to _0.3.0_

Do you mean a large thread (lots of email messages in the same thread or, in
Geary's model, conversation) or do you mean loading a load of messages in the
same folder?

Sorry for not being clear :)

I meant a large conversation. The conversation that i was testing on had over
140 messages in it.

There was really no lag when loading the list of conversations, only lag when
i clicked on a specific conversation with a large number of messages in it
(while i presume geary was downloading the messages from the server)

cheers,

Ah, yes, that is indeed a problem. Although not mentioned in #5865, this issue
is known and we want to fix it.

(140 messages!)

I've just hit this bug on master~ge6aa0a85.

I have a 20 messages conversation, already read. I received 2 new messages in that thread and Geary was not able to load them (I could only see "no conversation selected" in the message pane/third pane) until I switched conversation back and forth.

Looks like both a cache and a server sync problem.

Bump tickets to 0.14 that aren't going to make 0.13.
Comment 3 Michael Gratton 2019-10-24 04:49:26 UTC
This has been improved substantially in 3.34, and ongoing work is happening in https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/geary/issues/230, so closing in favour of that.
