230044 - Marking a non-selected message as junk changes the selection

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 209748

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Anders Kaseorg]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6b) Gecko/20040103 Firebird/0.7+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6b) Gecko/20040103 Firebird/0.7+

If I have message 5 selected, and I mark messages 1, 3, and 10 as junk (causing
them to be deleted), the selection advances through 6, 7, and 8. This is even
more annoying on a slow IMAP server, when the selection changes at seemingly
random times.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select a message.
2. Mark a *different* message as junk by clicking on the message's junk column.

Actual Results:  
The selection advances to the next message.

Expected Results:  
The selection should not change.

This also bothers me a lot, on WinXP, since I get a fair amount of spam that the
filters don't catch.

Confirming, changing OS to All.

To reproduce, mark as Junk an email as Junk that is "above" the current selected
email.

Or below, it makes no difference. This isn't a complicated problem... all that's
happening is that the selection is getting advanced whenever any message is
deleted, which is braindead behavior. It should either be removed altogether, or
fixed to only advance the selection if the *selected* message was deleted.
