[John Parziale]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.1) Gecko/20061204 Firefox/2.0.0.1

Annoying but not fatal bug. Highlighted message in Message List and corresponding message displayed in Message Pane changes to the next message down on list whenever a message above the highlighted message is removed from Message List.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Highlight/display a message (other than the top most message).
2. Highlighted message displays in Message Pane. 
3. Delete (or mark as Junk for immediate transfer to JUNK folder or immediate deletion) any message above the highlighted message.
4. Flagged/deleted message will disappear.
5. Message list will jump up one message but highlight bar will NOT scroll up.
Actual Results:  
Actual Result: message displayed in Message Pane will change with each deletion to next one down in list. Highlighted message in Message List changes to next lower message.

Expected Results:  
Expected Result: original highlighted message should remain displayed in Message Pane. In Message List, Highlight Bar should remain fixed on original highlighted message.

Bug happens whenever the highlighted/displayed message is any message other than the top most message in Message List.

What sort order are you using to view the folder?  That is, what are the three settings from the  View|Sort By  menu?

When you delete the message above, you're doing this using the context menu (right-click)?

Reporter, does the issue still occur in the latest supported 2.0.0.x / Shredder trunk nightlies?

(1.5.0.x is end-of-life and the latest supported 2.0.0.x is 2.0.0.17)

Sorry for the late response; I was on business travel and missed your earlier message.

Issue appears to be resolved in the latest version.
