           Summary: clutter between internal selection and GUI/QT message
                    list selection after deletion of a message range
           Product: kmail
           Version: 1.13.3
          Platform: Gentoo Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: message list
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: hannes.nagel at gmx.de


Version:           1.13.3 (using KDE 4.4.4) 
OS:                Linux

(This is very probably of a double of Bug 202071, however since it is quite
possibly dangerous and easy to fix at the same time I just open a new one. Read
on, it is a bit more detailed than 202071. Also, in 229486 it says it is
resolved which it is not for kmail 1.13.3/4.4.4 in Gentoo. The other doubles of
this bug are also before my version, so I suppose, it is not really resolved.)

Select a range of messages, delete it. The GUI shows now, that some message is
selected (which typically is at the border of where the selection range has
been). It is however not really the selected message in all cases. When you
select a new range with this (seemingly) selected message the new range is not
what it is supposed to be, but starts at a different message.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Select message A. Hold shift and select message B. Now a range of messages is
selected. Delete them by hitting the DEL key. Let's call the message that gets
highlighted now C. (C usually is at the former position of A by the way.)
Hold the shift key and select a message D.

Actual Results:  
A Range starting at the mail being just one line below or above of the former
position of B and ending at D is selected. (The below/above is dependent on the
new ending point point being below/above the start of the range.)

Expected Results:  
A Range starting at C going to D would be selected.

Please notice me, if you need more information.
