684504 - In Eudora OSE, selecting individual emails or a group of emails using Ctl or Shift does not seem to work in Folders. It works in Address Book.

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Penelope Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[ejlegg]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 9.0; Windows NT 6.1; Trident/5.0; SLCC2; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; Media Center PC 6.0; .NET4.0C; Tablet PC 2.0)

Steps to reproduce:

When I try to select a number of individual emails with the CTL key held down or when I try to select a group of continuous emails with the Shift key held down WHILE IN FOLDERS, the selections do not stay.  This Ctl/Shift functionality works in the Address Book but not for selecting emails in Folders.


Actual results:

Using Ctl, the first email line goes Blue (as if selected) but the Blue selection indicator goes away when the next email is selected. Using Shift, the selected group of emails turns Blue (as if selected) but when I try and drag that selection to another Folder, only one email is dragged - not the whole selected group.


Expected results:

All emails selected (whether individually or as a group) should have dragged over to the Folder to which they were being dragged.

Selecting emails by either using Ctl Key (for individual selections) or the Shift Key (for group selections) works for making the selection but fails when an attempt is made to DRAG those selected emails to their respective Folders. When such dragging is attempted, the selected emails fail to remain grouped.  However, if one selects the emails (as above) and then goes to Tranfer, brings up the Drop Menu of Local Folders and then selected the desired Folder to which the selected emails are destined, the process works well ie: ALL selected emails transfer OK.  It therefore is the DRAGGING functionality of selected emails that seems to be the problem.
