GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 424147
[a11y] Mail message window inconsistent with item selected in mail header list.
Last modified: 2021-05-19 12:28:59 UTC
Steps to reproduce: 1/ Start Evolution (you'll need a few messages present in the mail box you're reading). 2/ Get focus to the mail message header list and to a particular message. 3/ Press Return to show that message in its own window. 4/ Press Control-d to delete that message. 5/ Another message is displayed in a sepate window BUT the actual message that is selected in the mail header list is different. To a sighted user, this isn't necessarily the end of the world, but when Evolution is used by blind users in conjunction with a screen reader such as Orca, it's a real problem, especially if they want to make sure that they are deleting the right message. Here's another similar problem. You can press Ctrl+{PageUp,PageDown} in a window dedicated to a message, and you don't see the message summary list in the Evolution main window update itself.
Hi All: just a quick follow up to this. Is this something that would difficult to implement?

Still valid in 3.2.3 if "View > Show Deleted Messages" is enabled. Problem does not seem to happen if not enabled. > Here's another similar problem.

GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/Community/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new bug report ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
