(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20050110 Firefox/1.0 (Debian package 1.0+dfsg.1-2)

There is a difference in behavior when deleting a message that is open in a
separate window and deleting a message that is open in the preview pane.  I
think the behavior should be identical.

When viewing messages in the preview pane:
If you press the delete key the current message is deleted and the selection in
the main mail window (i.e. usually the inbox) skips to the next message
depending on the sorting options.

When viewing messages in a separate window:
If you press the delete key the separate window skips to the next message, but
if you close that window the main mail window has no selection.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Double click a message in your inbox (this will open a new window)
2.  Press the delete key
3.  Close the window so you return to the main mail window

Actual Results:  
No messages are selected in the main mail window.


Expected Results:  
The next message should be selected in the main mail window.

highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce

you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
