53001 - RIGHT mouse button cancels multiple selection on mail headers window

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect, P2)

Description

[Masaki Katakai]

RIGHT mouse button should show menu for move, copy messages
on mail headers window. However, it clears multiple selection,
so I could not move messages to mail folders.

1) Start Mozilla Mail
2) View mail headers
3) Select a message by LEFT button on mail header list window
4) Select other message with Shift+LEFT button
   Multiple messages between 3) and 4) are selected

5) Click RIGHT button on *mail headers window* to invoke
   menu for moving and copying messages

   At this point, multiple selection is canceled,
   cleared. Users want to move the multiple messages
   but it's cleared and it makes a single selection.

Workaround is to invoke menu on mail content window, not on
mail header window.
