Discovered by Wayne. 102 has correct behaviour.
STR
- Set mail.operate_on_msgs_in_collapsed_threads = false (important!) (and wonder why this important ux-error-prevention pref isn't exposed in the Settings?)
- Have a collapsed thread with some messages above and below
- Select message above or below collapsed thread
- Press
Arrow down
orArrow up
respectively to navigate over the collapsed thread
Actual
- Thread expands when navigated over, forcing users to navigate all messages of the thread before getting to the next message outside the thread.
- This is a significant UX impediment for keyboard consumers of this pref.
Expected
- Thread should not expand, but remain collapsed when navigating over it, to allow efficient message list navigation.
- 102 has correct behaviour.
Other interactions with the thread's selected top message (like collapsing the thread with Arrow right
or clicking on the twisty) are also blocked. Perhaps we have a wrong implementation paradigm here, which tries to realize the pref by enforcing that a collapsed thread must never be selected, i.e. whenever the top message is selected, thread is expanded?

I'm calling this a dupe of the other bug, as it's the same problem seen in two different ways.
