I pulled on comm and source today and when I build this happens
local build 2023/11/15:
- select a message on the message list
- Right click a different msg
- press esc
Actual:
The message that was right-clicked has become the selected message, as we close the right clicked menu. The previously selected message now looks as if focused but not selected.
Expected:
The message that was selected remains selected as we close the right clicked menu.
The regression was not present in the build from 2023-11-13, started with the build from 2023-11-14 or 2023-11-15.

Thank you for investigating this. I think this is caused by the context menu CSS change that went in recently.

I don't know for sure if that caused the regression. Maybe it did not.

This seems to be an intermittent issue according to Sol that has cleared up. According to Sol, this appears locally sometimes, but is not present in daily.
Bug 1862973 does not appear to be the cause.

As far as multi-folder views are concerned, this is a regression from bug 1807063, that we have to accept for the time being in order to fix bug 1857766, see also here. The way selected messages are stored should be changed to message headers instead of keys if there is no severe performance impact.
This is a bug that was probably fixed between lands as it never landed on Daily and it no longer seems to be happening on my side. A new bug can be created if the behaviour returns.
