18104 - Shift-Select does not work to Select Multiple Messages in Thread Pane

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 12288

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect, P3)

Description

[sol]

You cannot use shift-select to select multiple adjacent messages in the thread
pane. Interestingly, you can use control-select to multiple select non-adjacent
messages.

Build id 1999110408

Steps to reproduce:
1. Launch Seamonkey Mail.
2. Expand an account.
3. Expand the Inbox.
4. Respond to the password prompt.
5. Select a message from the thread pane.
6. Hold down shift and select the message that is 2 below the message originally
selected.
   Msg 1 [originally selected]
   Msg 2
   Msg 3

Expected result: Msg 1, 2 and 3 are selected (and can be deleted, etc.)
Actual result: Only Msg 1 is selected.

Note: If you control-select in the above example, Msg 1 and 3 are selected (but
not Msg 2) which is the correct control-select behavior.
