Description kde 2010-03-05 05:15:37 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.4.1)
Compiler:          gcc version 4.4.3  
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages

When you delete emails the "current" email entry is not updated correctly.
To reproduce:
* you need a folder with a few emails to delete
* select the 3rd or 4th email
* shift-select the 1st email
* hit delete
the new first email is highlighted and displayed
* shift-select another email (eg. 6th)and you have highlighted the first messages and the 4-6th, but not those "in between".
* hitting delete removes all selected mails

Seems like the storage for the "from index" when doing a shift-select is not moved correctly when deleting entries.
probably a simple fix: if active entry is deleted and new highlight is set, set "from selection" as well.
Maybe this applies to other apps as well. Not sure where this kind of list is used.
