package: kmail version: 4:4.3.2-1 severity: critical After several operations on a folder the marker for the currently selected message is not updated correctly. It seems that there are actually two markers, one for the GUI, which is handled correctly, and one for internal uses, which isn't. The latter one seems to be an index which isn't updated in several cases.
Example: * Select the first mail in a folder. * Now change the sorting order. * The previously selected message is still highlighted by the GUI, let's assume that it now is at position 6 in the list of messages. * Hold the shift key and click on the message at position 3 in the list. At this point now, I would expect that messages at the position 3, 4, 5, 6 are highlighted. Instead, messages at position 1, 2, 3 are highlighted, while the highlight on position 6 is removed. Similarly, when deleting mails the first following mail is highlighted by the GUI while the internal index isn't. Concerning the severity and why this is not just an annoyance, the reason is that it is not always obvious what is going on when the start of the selection range isn't visible. I was just cleaning up some old mails and there was one from a source which I don't care for any more. I selected that, changed the selection to "sort by author", scrolled down the list, shift-selected the last of them and deleted them. Since the start of the selection remained close to the beginning of the whole folder, far out of view, this just cost me a few hundred mails.
