Bug: a draft getting unstarred
NewtonMethod
Steps to reproduce the bug:
1. Login to your Gmail. Click 'Compose Mail' and write a draft and save
it. Don't send the draft.
2. Go to 'Drafts' section and then star the draft you just saved.
3. Go to 'Starred' section and you will see the draft is starred.
4. Go to 'Drafts' section and edit the draft and re-save it.
5. Go to 'Starred' section and you will see the draft is not there in
the starred list.
It is unstarred. you didn't unstar it. But the draft is somehow
silently unstarred. That is the bug. If you go to 'Drafts' section, you
will see the draft is really unstarred.
It seems that the draft gets unstarred at the moment you go to
'Starred' section after editing the starred draft.
Drafts can also get silently unlabeled.
This only happens to drafts and does not happen to received e-mail
messages.

That is because I want to star a draft that contains my personal todo
list. I am using Gmail Drafts feature as some kind of online notes
taking application with built-in quick search. I wished that Starred
section lists not only my starred e-mails but also my todo list. For
me, star means "to re-read" or "to do".
