Folder list takes window-size focus
Last modified: 2019-02-18 00:03:10 UTC
Sometimes all mouse-clicks go to the folder/label-list. The interface behaves as if the folder list is horizontally maximized. Selecting a message using a mouse click select the folder that lines up horizontally instead. Using the keyboard works. I don't know yet when it happens. I think it happens when I drag-and-drop messages between folders. For example (yes, ascii-art): account1 message1 conversation +- folder1 message1-subject ... +- folder2 message2 ... account2 message2-subject ... +- folder1 message3 ... +- folder2 message3-subject Assume messsage1/conversation has focus and is visible. clicking on message2 will select account1/folder2. message1 remains visible. clicking on message2, but in the subject vertical space will select account2. message1 remains visible. This gives the impression that Geary crashed. The keyboard behaves as expected. Tab, up, down, etc. I've tried resizing the window, and the folder tab, but neither helps. Quit/start works. At some time later, the problem re-occurs. GTK+ 3.10.9.
I think I can get it back by opening folders/labels until I get a scrollbar, and then closing them.
