Confirming. Setting probabledup keyword, as I am pretty sure this has been filed already. Just can't find it...
i can confirm this, however i think that this is a duplicate of a bug which was only partially fixed. probably a gal bug.
Created attachment 112419 [details] [review] proposed evo patch for evolution; It works better with this patch. I also added there a behavior that when the selected count get one, then the selected message is shown, even the cursor is somewhere else. If you do not like this, then I can remove it. As far as I tested it it works fine now. The problem was two different functions was going to decide what to show in different way.
Milan, the code seems fine, I haven't tested it, just test and commit it.
Committed to trunk. Committed revision 35633.
bug #540160 contains a patch where I reverted this one, because it caused troubles.
