[Bug 311836] [NEW] visual glitches when messages are selected with the keyboard

[AmenophisIII]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: claws-mail

im using ubuntu intrepid and claws-mail 3.5.0-2ubuntu1.

when your focus is inside the message list you can select multiple messages by holding shift or ctrl and either click other messages or moving with the cursor keys.
while doing it with the mouse everything looks ok, but if you do it with the keyboard the selection gets stuck, even if you unselect the messages/select another message.

how to reproduce:
open a folder with at least 2 (better 3) messages.
select the first message (pos1 or with mouse).
press and hold shift and hit the down key at least once (or press end) and relase shift.
some (all) messages are now selected. this selection is stuck:
if you click on any message or hit up/down/pos1/end you would expect the old selection to be abandoned, but it isnt.
im pretty sure its only visually stuck and the right messages are selected and processed e.g. if you declare them as spam or drag'n'drop them.


there is also another glitch when you unselect messages with ctrl+click.
the old selection remains as kind of a shadow (the yellow selection is cleared, but the black frame remains) until you select und unselect it again (with the mouse or by "sweeping" by with the cursor keys).
