241233 - Select next message when deleting message slow; causes selection jump backward

I use Mozilla mail for IMAP, without the preview pane, and I mark the messages
for deletion. When I get a batch of new mail, I go through and delete all of the
junk messages using the arrow and DEL keys. After I delete a message and scroll
down several messages to the next message to be deleted, the selection bar jumps
back to the message following the one I deleted. Mozilla shouldn't select a
message if the focus has changed from the current message. This would also be
resolved if Mozilla stayed on the current message instead of automatically
advancing to the next.

Dan:
"I've tried it in Mozilla 1.8b2 (builds 20050308 and 20050702) and SeaMonkey
1.1a (build 2005091706) and all still show the same problem. I wasn't able
to try it in the latest build of SeaMonkey (2005091806) since it won't run.

The best way to test this is to have, say, five messages in a row. Delete
number 4, up-arrow 3x, and then hit delete again to delete number 1.
Instead, it will drop below #4, go back up to it, and undelete it (or
perhaps #3). You can also test it going down. If you start on #2 and hit
[delete][down][delete] quickly it will delete #2 and #3. If you go slightly
slower (about 1/2 second pause), it will delete #2 and #4."

It's not as noticeable since it's faster, but yes, it still happens if you're going quickly. I sent "test1" through "test9" to my e-mail account. I deleted test1, hit the down arrow 4x, then tried to delete test5, but it usually deletes test4 (sometimes it'll delete test3 or test5 depending on timing).
