Details

When ALT+click group selecting items in a mailbox, there is no visible sort indicator. This can lead to confusion since there is no longer a visible indicator of the sort criteria for the mailbox. ALT+shift+click selection leaves the sort indicator in the previous column alone because it's not also grouping messages. Classic left the previous indicator for either type of select, though this seems like a mistake or a bug WRT a grouped select. In discussion with Matt, it seems like it would be good to use a character like this " — " in place of the open delta sort indicator in the column where the group selection is happening. That way it will be obvious that *something* is happening in that column that is not ascending or descending.
Penelope didn't see any activity in the vcs for the last 8 years, closing.
