Description C Shilpa 2005-07-06 08:28:52 UTC 
Version details: 2.3.4
Distribution/Version: SuSE 9.3

1. Select a message. Goto the file menu and verify whether all related options
are enabled.
2. Deselect the message. Now no message should be selected. Verify in the file
menu that related options (save message, print and print preview) are disabled.
3. Select the same message that was deselected. The menu options are still disabled.

Expected results:
The menu options should be enabled.

Other information:
It is the same case with the menu options in message menu.
Comment 1 C Shilpa 2005-07-06 08:38:38 UTC 
One more issue is
1. Select a message. The message should be shown in the preview pane
2. now deselect the message. The message should not be shown in the preview pane.
3. Now again select the message that was deselected. The message is not shown in
the preview pane even when it is selected and should be shown in the preview pane.

The second issue is now if we goto another message and select some message from
the preview pane, the copy option in the edit menu is disabled. Now if we
deselect the message from which text was selected, the copy option is enabled.

Comment 4 Not Zed 2005-08-25 05:52:06 UTC 
this is another duplicate of the selection bug

changing the selection on the cursor isn't recognised
Comment 5 Matthew Barnes 2008-03-11 00:25:26 UTC 
Bumping version to a stable release.
Comment 6 Roberto Guido 2009-11-24 00:04:01 UTC 
In 2.92.3 this seems to be corrected, as long a message is always selected and no inconsistency appears.
Comment 7 André Klapper 2012-02-13 15:13:11 UTC 
Roberto is right; Problem does not happen anymore in 3.2.3 either.

Closing as OBSOLETE.
