This happens both ways: when selected with mouse or arrows. Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. Select message from the message list 2. (rinse and repeat)
In local Folders ? Imap folders ? Have you tried safe mode? (see https://support.mozillamessaging.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode for more information)
Update: Thunderbird to 3.0.6 and with safe-mode. IMAP and local folders have the same issue. Sometimes it happens every few clicks and sometimes not.
Update: Thunderbird 3.1.1 with safe-mode Argh, this seems to be more an UI related, the "issue" is the read flag colum that, by default, is right in the middle of "the most likely to hit with a mouse" area, and can be accidentally clicked too easily. I cannot reproduce this after noticing the earlier -> Resolved.

from Bug 586592 Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. Clicked message from list (IMAP) 2. Pressed Delete key 3. Pressed Arrow down key Next message was selected and marked as read. More cursor up/down key pressed and messages got marked as read. After awhile it stopped happening anymore. --- Another try: 1. Locate message that is HTML based and has link 2. Click HTML message in the list 3. Click the link in the preview -> launches firefox 4. Immediately start clicking messages in the message list which might get marked as read I could reproduce that 5 times in a row, but then it did not happen.

see Bug 662792 for an imap only issue that may be what you're seeing, along with some details.
Wayne, I suspect this should be marked as a dup or wfm - thoughts?
(In reply to comment #7) > Wayne, I suspect this should be marked as a dup or wfm - thoughts? I suspect yes, but will wait for the patch in a build.
Depends on: 662792
Mikael , do you find this problem is gone in version 7 and newer?
