Selecting a message doesn't always select the message on the first attempt.

I think this happens most often when selecting a message in a folder that is
different from the one previously selected.

Reproduce:
- look at a message in one folder
- select another folder and select a message there

Result:
- message is not selected (only after second attempt)

Expected Result:
- message is selected (and shows contents below).

These are very genereal steps; I've never experienced this.

I think it only happens with local folders (not sure tho) and when I "quickly"
select the message (i.e., the messages have just become visible -> ~0.5 sec.)
after selecting the folder. It doesn't seem to happen after repeated tries (cache?).

Sorry, keywords won't fix the bug. (Taking away incoherent keywords.)

Peter Lairo: for me the reported need for double click exists only when
selecting something in a text field and trying to set focus to another text
field. E.g. you type something in address field and autocomplete displays a
proposed address that is selected. Then you need double click to give focus to
the subject field. But I never saw something similar during message selection.

Dimi: What you describe should be a separate bug.

Yassu! Actually, you can (finally) TAB out of the autocomplete address once you
have selected (by cursor) the address :)
