236519 - when moving through list of folders with arrow keys, delay opening the folders

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, enhancement)

Description

[Vaclav Dvorak]

Similar to bug 75866. When I use the keyboard to open a different mail folder in
the three-pane window, Mozilla Mail opens each folder I step on with the up or
down arrow key. This can take a longish time, and scrolling to a far-away folder
this way is very annoying. I would like there to be a short delay from
highlighting a folder's name to actually opening it. The delay should be longer
that the keyboard's delay before repeating, but not much longer than that - I'd
say 1.5 seconds. (It can be configurable but I don't insist on that.) The delay
should _not_ apply when one clicks a folder name with the mouse.

MASS-CHANGE:
This bug report is registered in the SeaMonkey product, but has been without a comment since the inception of the SeaMonkey project. This means that it was logged against the old Mozilla suite and we cannot determine that it's still valid for the current SeaMonkey suite. Because of this, we are setting it to an UNCONFIRMED state.

If you can confirm that this report still applies to current SeaMonkey 2.x nightly builds, please set it back to the NEW state along with a comment on how you reproduced it on what Build ID, or if it's an enhancement request, why it's still worth implementing and in what way.
If you can confirm that the report doesn't apply to current SeaMonkey 2.x nightly builds, please set it to the appropriate RESOLVED state (WORKSFORME, INVALID, WONTFIX, or similar).
If no action happens within the next few months, we move this bug report to an EXPIRED state.
