            Bug ID: 341114
           Summary: Focus Jumps To Another Message Spontaneously When
                    Server Refresh
           Product: kmail2
           Version: 4.14.2
          Platform: Fedora RPMs
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: message list
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: gtwilliams at gmail.com

Occasionally focus is changed to another (seemingly random) message
spontaneously.  It seems to happen when the IMAP (Gmail) server is refreshing. 
I believe that focus always lands on an already-read message.

This is very irritating since I now need to find the message I was reading
before to resume.

This bug is fairly old, probably since KDE 4 originally shipped in Fedora.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Read mail
2. Wait for refresh
3. Repeat

It doesn't always happen on a refresh.  I have no idea what the triggering
conditions are.  :-(

Actual Results:  
Message list focus jumps to another message.

Expected Results:  
Leave focus on the message I'm reading until I change it.

Maybe automatic expiration (moving message to local folder) is also triggering
event, but not sure.  I have many folders in Gmail set to expire message older
than a few months by moving them to a local folder.  For example, my foo folder
messages migrate over time to my foo-old local folder.
