I've seen several complaints about this on the mailing lists, but for some reason I can't reproduce this myself with evolution-2.8.0-1.fc6. When I highlight a message and either press the Delete key, the Delete toolbar button, or right-click and select Delete from the pop-up menu, the next message in the list is highlighted and its contents displayed in the preview pane. I tried this with the "Hide Deleted Messages" option both selected and unselected. The only other package I can think of that might be relevant here is GTK+, though that's a long shot. I'm using gtk2-2.10.3-1.fc6. I'm also using gtk2-2.10.3-1.fc6 FWIW, the behavior is unique to a mail account. I have two mail accounts, one for work and one personal. Both are IMAP and both have pretty much the same configuration, although the IMAP server they connect may very well be a different IMAP implementation. My work account exhibits the behavior, my personal account does not. I've tried to see if there was a pattern, but so far I'm at a loss. The only difference I see between the preferences for the accounts is the work account is my default and uses SSL encryption, neither of which seems a plausable condidtion to trigger the behavior. I could however imagine a different response from the IMAP server could be a factor for why the two accounts behave differently (what if an unexpected response caused a code path to exit early?) just guessing .... I seem to recall there is an environment variable one can turn on to produce debugging information with evolution. What is it? Would that help diagnose the problem? One thing you might try Matthew when trying to reproduce the problem is to see if multiple mail accounts is a necessary condidtion. Ahh ... I think I see a necessary condition to trigger the behavior. In the account which exhibits the behavior if you turn off "Hide Messages Marked for Deletion", then after deletion the next message is selected. If you toggle the "hide" back on it fails to select the next message. Behavior is very consistent when toggling the hide flag. I am experiencing the same thing with the "hide deleted messages" option on and off. It doesn't highlight with the option on, and it does continue to highlight with the option off. This is using POP3, so it seems consistant no matter how mail is retreived, or where it's stored. Almost by accident I discovered message threading seems to trigger the failure. If threading is on the next message is not selected after deletion, if threading is disabled you get the expected behavior. I think this explains why I was seeing different behavior between mail accounts, the working account did not have threading turned on, the failing account did. toggle Ctrl-T and I expect you can toggle the problem. *** Bug 206168 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Nicolas,I appreciate that you consider this an important bug, but please leave the tracker bug as a planning tool to us. *** Bug 206226 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** (In reply to comment #8) > Nicolas,I appreciate that you consider this an important bug, but > please leave the tracker bug as a planning tool to us. I'd be happy to use the tacker bug properly, but it's only described as "desktop issues" now. Makes it hard for external testers like me to guess what rules to follow there. True. I have added a comment to the tracker bug now. Looks like this is a side effect of a bug that Behdad reported upstream. http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=352982 Fixed in evolution-2.8.0-6.fc6 -5 is the only version I have seen in the last couple days. Is -6 having build problems in rawhide or something as still don't see it. Since we're in feature freeze right now we have a more cumbersome process for pushing updates out. It looks like release 6 was overlooked, so I've re-requested that it be pushed to Rawhide. Sorry for the delay. Confirmed that it was fixed in evolution-2.8.0-6.fc6. |
