Because KMail2 is still pretty crappy, I've had A LOT of duplicate mails populating folders from akonadi or filtering or who-knows-what. I've had to delete a lot of mails, and noticed that if I highlight and delete mails, the highlighted message isn't the anchor for a following shift-click selection. I sort my message list in descending Date order, so maybe that's part of the problem. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Have a bunch of messages to delete in a folder. 2. Highlight some, but not all, and delete them. 3. Scroll down and shift-click to select more messages Actual Results: The selection does not extend from the highlighted message to the shift-clicked message. Expected Results: The selection should extend from the highlighted message to the shift-clicked message. I sort messages in descending Date order.
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.
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.
