            Bug ID: 376388
           Summary: Regression kMail 5.4.2: "Current" message does not
                    have keyboard focus in message list after message
                    navigation
           Product: kmail2
           Version: Git (master)
          Platform: Neon Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: message list
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: kdebugs at CustomCDROM.de
  Target Milestone: ---

My use case for removing unwanted mail in folder was to jump to other mails
using the "->" button or "+"/"n" keys and pressing Shift-Delete to remove them
for good if I do not want to keep them.

This still worked fine since ages until kMail 5.4.1 but not any more with
5.4.2:

After navigating to another message using "+", "n" or by clicking a folder, the
next message is highlighted in the message list but does not get keyboard focus
- any additional hotkey pressed at this point does not work on this message.

You have to explicitly click the message again with the mouse to make
Shift-Delete work, after which the keyboard focus gets lost again, so I even
cannot delete subsequent mails using the keyboard IF I explicitly clicked into
the message list.

This is pretty annoying as if I want to delete 10 mails in a folder one after
another and have a quick glance at their contents before doing so, this
previously just required pressing "Shift-Delete" ten times and looking at the
message content pane in between. Since the last update, it requires 10
additional changes between keyboard and mouse and ten additional mouse
clicks... :-(
