Description aaron 2003-04-09 20:54:52 UTC 
Create a mailbox with about five or ten messages in it. Select one of the
messages, then put the focus somewhere else so you can't use the [ and ]
keys to move around. 

Click in the message list, in the portion that has no messages. It won't
focus the message list.
Comment 1 aaron 2003-04-09 20:56:57 UTC 
No, that's inaccurate. Sorry. 

Click on the message body so that up/down scrolls the preview.
Then, click the blank area in the message list, and try to go up/down.
You have to click an actual message.

Pretty minor.

Bumping version to a stable release.
Comment 7 André Klapper 2012-02-09 19:28:09 UTC 
Still in 3.2.3
Comment 8 Milan Crha 2015-08-28 06:56:16 UTC 
The click had been done in an ECanvasBackground, which simply ignored it. I made it focus the item, which fixes this bug.

Created commit 6cc8a6c in evo master (3.17.91+)
Comment 9 Milan Crha 2015-11-03 09:21:27 UTC 
There's a follow up change of this at but #755730.
Comment 10 Milan Crha 2015-11-11 10:49:40 UTC 
I reverted the change from comment #8 and wrote it more correctly. The above-mentioned bug #755730 contains a reference to a change regarding the drag&drop issue with gtk 3.18.x.

Created commit 2a1e09e in evo master (3.19.2+)
Created commit aa29577 in evo gnome-3-18 (3.18.3+)
