           Summary: Changing sort column selects a different message
           Product: kmail
           Version: 1.12.4
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: message list
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: kde at reetstreet.com


Version:           1.12.4 (using KDE 4.3.5) 
OS:                Linux

In kmail 1.11.2, if I selected an email message from a particular user and then
changed the sort order to "Sender", I would see all of the messages from that
sender -- the message that I had selected remained selected when the sort order
changed.  In kmail 1.12.4, the most recently received message in a folder is
selected whenever the sort order changed.  That means that I have to go
scrolling through the messages in the folder to re-find the user I was looking
for.  I preferred the previous behavior, where the selected message remains
stable when the sort order changes.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Select any message in any folder other than the most recently received message
in that folder.  Change the sort order to sort by another column, e.g. Sender
or Subject.

Actual Results:  
The most recent message received in that folder is selected.

Expected Results:  
The message that was selected prior to changing the sort order should remain
selected.
