Steps to reproduce:

  1. Email folder full of collapsed email threads interspersed among singular emails.
  2. Click "Archive" repeatedly in Message Pane to archive messages

Actual results:

With collapsed email thread selected, after clicking "Archive" button in Message Pane header, the next email in folder is selected automatically.

If next email is not also a nested conversation, the Message Pane buttons shift, with "Delete" now being positioned where the "Archive" button was previously.

Result: Emails get deleted instead of archived.

I've attached a screenshot showing this behavior with a red line separating the two different states.

Expected results:

Message Pane header buttons should remain in consistent positions for a less frustrating user experience when transitioning between collapsed threads and other messages.

Summary: Message Pane buttons shift position after being clicked → Message Pane buttons (+positions) are different for single message vs. collapsed thread - would like buttons to remain at the same positions when navigating the message list
