           Summary: irregular and sometimes unpredictable behaviour in
                    message list when selecting and deleting messages
           Product: kmail
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: SuSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: FalkKroenert at gmx.net


Version:            (using KDE 4.2.98)
Compiler:          gcc (SUSE Linux) 4.3.2 [gcc-4_3-branch revision 141291]
platform x86_64
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

This both happens in standalone KMail or being integrated within Kontact (which
I use most of the time). I have tested it with the plain standard inbox, fed
via POP3 from gmx, as well as a disconnected IMAP inbox from the local Kolab
instance.


Starting with a full Inbox (or any other folder consisting of both already read
and unread mails) I start to select unread mails in order to later dispose of
them or move them into different folders. Skimming through some mails via
keyboard and selecting them in the process (by holding shift pressed) I then
scroll down and shift-click on another one to select all in between.
Inconsistently it sometimes does not have the wanted effect of getting them all
selected but instead all mails downwards up to the end of the list including
the one I just clicked on get selected. Those already selected before will stay
selected. Due to its irregular nature this behaviour is hard to describe and,
seemingly, only happens with read and unread mails in the same folder. And it
only happens when the folder holds more mails than can be shown at the moment,
e.g. the scrollbar is visible.
It does not happen, at least I have not yet experienced it, when selecting
purely via mouse and ctrl & shift modfiers. So it does not seem to be a general
problem with the selection model.
