Thunderbird inappropriately changes which message it is displaying if you use
the Junk Status column to mark a more recent message as junk.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1) Configure Thunderbird so that marking a message "junk" deletes it.
2) Configure Thunderbird so that the "junk status" column is displayed.
3) Sort messages by date descending (most recent messages at the top).
4) Click on any message in the message list, other than the one at the very top.
 That message is highlighted and displayed in the bottom pane.
5) Click in the "junk status" column for any other message that is more recent
than the one currently displayed (ie higher in the list of messages than the
active message).
Actual Results:  
The message designated as junk is marked as junk and moved to the trash (as
expected).  Thunderbird then, inappropriately, displays the message below the
one that was previously displayed.  

If you do the same procedure, but instead mark a message that is older than the
currently displayed message, the bug does not occur;  Thunderbird will still
display the same message it had been displaying before the junk mail was deleted.

Expected Results:  
The correct behavior would be for Thunderbird to continue displaying the
original active message.
I can reproduce this problem at will. Have recently tested it on Windows 2003,
Thunderbird 1.0.2. Problem exists for that environment, but it has been around
through several versions and I believe exists under Linux version as well.
This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
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
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
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.
Thank you for your help in this matter.

This bug is still present in the most recent release version (1.06) and can be
reproduced 100% of the time, using the steps in my original description above. 
It should take approximately 1 minute to verify this bug.  Thanks.
If all this bug is lacking is a me too, here it is. As previously posted, it is quite easy to confirm.
Running Thunderbird version 1.5 (20051201), WinXP.
Junk mail set to move to Junk folder when manually marked.

This is a huge pain. Say I have a message selected that is at the bottom of a long list of mails. If I scroll up and see two junk messages near the top of the list (and the currently selected message scrolled off screen), then try to mark them as junk - I will click on the first, which is then marked and deleted. Due to imap delays this takes half a second. During that delay, I try to click the second junk message. However, the scrolling messages pane jumps to the next message, and I end up marking a random message as junk.
this is fixed on the trunk, and in 2.0a nightly builds (aka 1.8.1 branch builds)
