1812494 - Deleting an email doesn't focus the next conversation anymore

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Thunderbird :: Folder and Message Lists, defect)

Description

[Emilio Cobos Álvarez (:emilio)]

Before the recent update, a common workflow of mine was to

• focus an unread email
• if not interesting, or not actionable, press Del

That would delete the conversation (that still happens), but more importantly it'd focus the next email (or the previous if the email is the last one), which allows me to rinse and repeat.

After the recent changes, Del doesn't put the focus on any conversation, and it loses the position of the deleted conversation, so I need to mouse or arrow my way back to where I was, which is excruciating. I suspect it's just an oversight with the new implementation, but if it's intentional I'd appreciate knowing why :)
