Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 47917

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect, P3)

Description

[Oliver Klee]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; m18) Gecko/20000929
BuildID:    2000092908

If I select multiple messages and then right-click one of them without any
modifier key, the other selected messages are de-selected.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select 2 messages e.g. by CTRL+left mouse
2. right-click one message

Actual Results:  the other message gets de-selected							

Expected Results:  All message should stay selected as the invoking of a context
menu shouldn't change the selection.

Reporter is this still a problem with the latest daily builds?

I see this with linux trunk build 2000110708.

In fact, when I right-click on any mail message it gets selected.  I will open
another bug on that and make this depend on it.

That would be bug 47917, for dropping the multiple-selection on a right click.
