120801 - Unexpected Interface behaviour: selecting folder send to right pane

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 70097

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

It is an interface issue, not a bug, that could perhaps be revised (or even
remodeled as an option, on the behaviour of interface)
When selecting a folder, the fore goes to the messages' title pane. Why this?? I
find that the expected behaviour should be that the fore remains on the folder
selected. In fact, if the user goes up and down along folders, i.e. in order to
check titles, it always must reselect folder again and again. And so on, it's
worth case expecially when you have a lot of folders.



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open Mail
2.Select folder
3.Now to select another folder you must reselect the folders pane, or hit shift-tab

It seems that you are talking about defaul Mail focus.
