Bug 1383437

Thanks for a bug report. Is it possible the folder received a new message (or more than one) during the ongoing selection, then the message list updated and eventually lost what was selected, an also possibly reordered messages (especially if you use threaded view)?

It's unlikely (but I presume possible) that there's a check for mail, but I only have it setup to check mail every 30 mins so I'm doubtful.

I do use threaded view, but I'm not sure what would reorder it without new mail coming it.

It never use to do this, I'm not exactly sure when it started but if I was to guess I would say at the move to wekkit from gtkhtml.

Still an issue with latest evoltion:
evolution-3.22.1-2.fc25.x86_64
evolution-ews-3.22.1-1.fc25.x86_64
evolution-data-server-3.22.1-1.fc25.x86_64

I tried to reproduce it here, but still no luck. It doesn't mean much, because there can be related multiple factors for the reproducer. Would it be possible for you to record a video where will be shown the reproducer, please? As you said above, the only thing you do is to hold the shift key and press arrow up/down to select bunch of consecutive messages. I'd like to see it, because it should be easier than to describe every other single detail, related or not. To avoid personal information leakage, it would be perfectly fine for me if you send the video only to me (or even better only a link to it).

I've got one idea. When a message is selected and its state changes, like when it becomes read (from the unread state), then the IMAP account saves this change after several seconds. This auto-saving-to-the-server can be turned off manually. What I think is that the change save caused some sort of rebuild of the message list and broke the selection. Sadly, even when I tried it I failed to reproduce.

I'll try and do this next week. What's the best tool for desktop session recording (still currently using Xorg)

No idea here, neither preference. I'm CC'ing Adam, maybe he can suggest something.

I just use GNOME screen recording still. shift-ctrl-alt-r. Dunno what's good if you're not using GNOME.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 25 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 25. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '25'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version'
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not
able to fix it before Fedora 25 is end of life. If you would still like
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Fedora 25 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2017-12-12. Fedora 25 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
