click on a column to sort the message after subject. Now the selected message
isn't selected anymore and I must search it in my inbox.

2. Press G to look message in group by date mode
3. select one message
4. click on the subject column to sort the message by subject

The selected message isn't selected anymore.

Expected Results:  
The message should still be selected.

clarify summary - the message is not shown as selected in thread pane

same message is still displayed in message pane, as if the message had focus in thread pane, but thread pane is wrong.

Comment 2

would be cool if thread pane scrolled to show current selection, like folder pane now does when changing tabs (scrolls to folder location)

still see this with trunk.
