Messages get de-selected several times when browsing IMAP folder
Bug Summary
When switching IMAP folders to browse messages (like Inbox or Sent), Geary always updates the folder's message list from the server (spinning gray wheel) and constantly de-selects the currently selected message until the update is finished. This is a mildly annoying user experience.
Your installation
- Geary version: 3.34.2
- Geary revision: tags/3.34.2-0-g5b5d6d94
- GTK version: 3.24.13
- GLib version: 2.62.4
- WebKitGTK version: 2.26.2
- Installation method: Package
- Desktop environment: GNOME
- Operating system and version: Arch Linux
- Email provider: Any SMTP
Steps to reproduce
- Select IMAP folder like Sent
- Select one message and try to read it or inspect the senders, etc
- Geary de-selects the message after a few seconds while it updates the message list
- Select the message again
- Geary de-selects the message after a few seconds while it updates the message list
What happened?
What did Geary do that was unexpected?
Geary repeatedly de-selects the currently selected message while it updates the folder list.
What did you expect to happen?
I expected Geary to leave the currently selected message selected so I can read it.
