Description Wolfram R. Sieber 2008-06-14 20:51:31 UTC 
Version:           1.2.5 (using 3.5.5, Debian Package 4:3.5.5a.dfsg.1-8etch1 (4.0))
Compiler:          Target: i486-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.18-6-k7

Used to other ToC panes like in Thunderbird or Kmail, you would expect such a pane to have the focus when there's a bar in it, highlighting one of the individual entries. In Akregator (embedded to Kontact) you get that too. But otherwise than in the familiar ToC panes, if you try to move the highlighted bar around using the Up/Down keyboard keys, instead you move the content displayed in the article display pane (bottom-right).

Therefore it's impossible to select a series of articles in the ToC pane by keyboard and delete them without handing over to the mouse.

Some sort of PITA, I think. Please fix. Thanks.

You can use the left and right arrows to select other articles.
Thank you
