[Pkg-citadel-devel] Bug#713044: /usr/sbin/webcit: Some messages reappear after deletion (repeatable across multiple browsers)

[Chris Joseph]

Package: citadel-webcit
Version: 8.14-dfsg-1
Severity: normal
File: /usr/sbin/webcit

Dear Maintainer,

Certain types of html message cannot be deleted using webcit.  If one of
these messages is selected, the precise behaviour of webcit depends on
which delete button is clicked:

if the user clicks on the delete button attached to the message itself,
then a "delete this message?" dialogue box appears.  On clicking "OK",
the user is moved to the Lobby, and on returning to the room they were
in, the selected message is still present.  (It is however also present
in the "trash" room.)

If, in "Mail folder" mode, the user clicks on the delete button in the
menu at the top of the page, the selected message disappears temporarily
from the list.  The next time the user refreshes the mail folder, the
deleted message will reappear.  (Again, the message is also present
in Trash).


This does not appear to apply to plain-text messages.  I'm unable to
confirm whether or not it applies to all html messages; it is certainly
repeatable with most of those I have received.  (Twitter notifications
provide an easily testable example.)
