Version: 2.1.0 (using KDE 4.6.4) OS: Linux While browsing my mails, the selected mail often jumps to very old emails of a sudden, when kmail updates ist message list (which disturbs my “I’m now going to look at my mails in order of appearance” workflow, because I have to find the place in the message list again, where I left off). Reproducible: Didn't try OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.36-gentoo-r5 Compiler: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc
Same as bug 279248.
I'm still seeing this (or similar) behavior in 4.10. It seems like the memory of what was the last selected e-mail is more persistent than expected because if I have received several new e-mails, and I delete a couple, then select another to read, then after a few seconds it will switch back to the one that was selected before I started deleting and reading stuff. I'm not sure what the trigger is for it to decide to jump back to the previously read message vs. leaving it on the newly selected message - usually if there is only one new message then it works as expected, but if there are a couple of new messages that I go through - maybe deleting one, maybe reading one-at-a-time - in quick succession then it will jump back to the previously selected message.
This bug has only been reported for versions before 4.14, which have been unsupported for at least two years now. Can anyone tell if this bug still present? If noone confirms this bug for a Framework-based version of kmail2 (version 5.0 or later, as part of KDE Applications 15.12 or later), it gets closed in about three months.
Still using 4.14, but I don't think I've run into this in a while. I hope to upgrade sometime in the next couple of months, but don't have a specific timeline for that.
Just as announced in my last comment, I close this bug. If you encounter it again in a recent version (at least 5.0 aka 15.08), please open a new one unless it already exists. Thank you for all your input.
