In the list of email. If I click one one message, then quickly click another,
the whole action is treated as a double click. As a result, it opens the second
email that was clicked. This can be very annoying when I am using CTRL+click to
select multiple messages (for deletion for instance). So whereas all I want to
do is select multiple messages, I am finding that they are opening instead.
What's worse, it isn't just opening the latest message, it is opening all the
messages that have been selected so far.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click one email message.
2. Very quickly click on a differ email message soon after.
-OR-
1. Hold CTRL
2. Click one email message that is not selected.
3. Very quickly click on a differ email message that is not selected soon after.
Actual Results:
The messages open
Expected Results:
No messages should be opened because when I clicked quickly in succession, the
clicks were not on the same item and should not be treated as a double click.
The same problems occur when flagging email as junk mail. There is a column
that identifies email as junk. An email can be marked as junk by clicking on
the email in this column. However, if I click two emails in this column in
quick succession, only the first one gets marked as junk. The second click is
ignored.
Thankyou.
I also have a similar problem using 0.4
If selecting many messages, opening them all can lead to a *lot* of new windows
opening which drain resources and are a hassle to close.
One possible solution is to do as MS Outlook does. If you try and open more than
a certain number of mails (5 or 10 I think), it prompts you to check that you
want to open that many emails.

Same thing happens for me with 0.6 in Linux. Often happens when I just click on
an item (message or folder).
