Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 279001

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9b3) Gecko/2008020514 Firefox/3.0b3

In my daily work, I frequently switch my inbox contents to a view "Junk Mail". Usually, I want to delete all junk mails afterwards.

Therefore I press Ctrl-A and Delete .... and wonder what happened, because *all* my mails are gone: If I didn't select any message, then thunderbird has changed the view to "All", thus I have deleted not only chunk mail, but also other mail.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Convince yourself, that no message is currently selected. When in doubt,
   switch to another folder and switch back again.
2. Switch any view.
3. Press Ctrl-A.
Actual Results:  
Thunderbird changes the view to "All" and selects all messages in the current folder.

Expected Results:  
Thunderbird doesn't change the view and selects all messages in the view, not others.
