GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 254770
Pressing ctrl-d on a deleted doesn't move to the next message anymore
Last modified: 2013-09-10 14:03:17 UTC
When you press ctrl-d to delete a message, if it's already deleted, it doesn't move the cursor to the next message like it used to. This means you can't quickly go through a bunch of mails regardless of their status because you get stuck on one message. (Also, pressing delete moves ahead two messages, but that's another bug, I think) The behavior of ctrl-d and delete should probably be the same. Using the snaps from 20 February

Reopening this, sorry. These are actually two different bugs, I believe, aside from the fact that they don't have equal behavior (which should be a third bug if anything, in my opinion) The bug in #54471 is that pressing the "delete" key causes a message to be skipped. Pretend this is the message list ('U' means not deleted, 'D' means deleted): U Message 1 <-- selection here U Message 2 U Message 3 Pressing ctrl-d gives you: D Message 1 U Message 2 <-- selection here U Message 3 But pressing delete gives you: D Message 1 U Message 2 U Message 3 <-- selection here But this bug is a different one: U Message 1 <-- selection here U Message 2 U Message 3 Pressing ctrl-d gives you: D Message 1 U Message 2 <-- selection here U Message 3 But if it's set up like this: D Message 1 <-- selection here U Message 2 U Message 3 and you press ctrl-d, you get this: D Message 1 <-- selection here U Message 2 U Message 3 ie, nothing changes. I think that the message should stay marked deleted, but move to the next message, regardless of its own current state.
yea, joe is right.
seems to be because the toolbar/menu items are insensitive if the message has already been deleted. anyways, I've made the code re-enable Delete in the bonobo menus/toolbar (not context menu)
