Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 267618

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[TJ Martin]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.12) Gecko/20080201 Firefox/2.0.0.12
Build Identifier: version 2.0.0.12 (20080213)

When I sort mail by sender and then group with all names collapsed and attempt to drag all messages from sender to a sub-folder by clicking and dragging the sender's bold name only the first message is moved and the bold name is then replaced by the subject of the following message.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Sort by Sender
2.Group (use G key) and collapse the group
3.Drag a bold sender's name to a folder in the All Folders window
(Note: Sender must have more than one email under His/Her name)
Actual Results:  
The Sender's Bold name is replaced by the subject of the next message in the group. Weirder things happen when you attempt to drag multiple bold sender's names. 

Expected Results:  
Initially I thought dragging the name would drag all emails from that person into the sub folder I had created. Understanding that only one email is dragged at a time I would have expected the bolded sender's name to remain the same. 

You should probably disable dragging from collapsed group view entirely or allow all messages to be moved when the bold group name is dragged, adding a confirm pop-up and never show this message again check box. I apologize if this bug is a duplicate, I followed the steps and did not see it. Thank you.
