---- Reported by geary-maint@gnome.bugs 2012-11-01 12:59:00 -0700 ---- 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? Related issues: related to geary - 5865: Unable to read new messages when lots of mail is loading (Fixed) related to geary - Feature #6365: Prefetch mail in background (Fixed) ---- Additional Comments From geary-maint@gnome.bugs 2013-05-15 14:41:00 -0700 ---- ### History #### #1 Updated by Jim Nelson about 1 year ago * **Priority** changed from _Normal_ to _High_ * **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? #### #2 Updated by Ryan Lerch about 1 year ago 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, ryanlerch #### #3 Updated by Jim Nelson about 1 year ago * **Subject** changed from _no feedback when loading a large thread_ to _Hang when processing large conversations_ Ah, yes, that is indeed a problem. Although not mentioned in #5865, this issue is known and we want to fix it. (140 messages!) #### #4 Updated by Jim Nelson 10 months ago * **Category** changed from _client_ to _client+engine_ #### #5 Updated by Jim Nelson 10 months ago * **Category** changed from _client+engine_ to _conversations_ #### #6 Updated by Jim Nelson 9 months ago * **Target version** changed from _0.3.0_ to _0.4.0_ #### #7 Updated by Jim Nelson 6 months ago * **Target version** changed from _0.4.0_ to _0.5.0_ --- Bug imported by chaz@yorba.org 2013-11-21 23:13 UTC --- This bug was previously known as _bug_ 6048 at http://redmine.yorba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6048 Unknown milestone "unknown in product geary.

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.
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.
