I didn't notice this bug until I was manually reviewing the messages in my Junk
folder and deleting them with the Del key. After a (seemingly?) random number of
successful deletes, the focus will disappear, along with the deleted message,
requiring me to manually set focus to the next message.

Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Highlight a message.
2. Press the Del key.
3. Repeat.
4. At some point, usually around 10 messages later, focus will not automatically
shift to the next message. Instead you have to grab the mouse and click the next
message.

Actual Results:  
At some point, usually around 10 messages later, focus will not automatically
shift to the next message. Instead you have to grab the mouse and click it.

Expected Results:  
It should have automatically transferred focus to the next message in the list.

In case it matters, this happens when connected to an IMAP server. I don't have
any POP3 accounts, so I can't verify whether or not it's IMAP-specific.
I see this symptom for POP if I hit <del> rapidly enough.
