When you look at the list of messages you have no clue which messages are filtered out. You have to click on the View menu and point at the Threads item to find out. My suggestion is to add a widget that shows the state of the current view and lets me quickly change the view. (The Bugzilla web interface for submitting feature requests, as opposed to bugs, is confusing to say the least.) Reproducible: Always
