Description of problem: My inbox & other mail folders are always sorted threaded & ascending, so the newest messages are at the bottom of the displayed list. Since upgrading to Mageia 6, focus behaviour has changed - when a message is deleted, focus now moves in the wrong direction, backwards to the previous mail instead of forwards to the next. For example, if I have two threads in the folder (1 & 2) and each thread has five messages (a, b, c, d, e), if I delete message 2a I would expect focus to move forwards to message 2b, but it now moves backwards to 1e. And the problem is the same for unthreaded messages - if I delete message 5, focus moves backwards to message 4 instead of forwards to message 6. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): claws-mail-3.15.0-4.mga6 How reproducible: Every time I delete an email Steps to Reproduce: 1. Delete an email (read or unread - problem occurs with both) 2. Focus moves to the previous (i.e. older) message instead of to the next (i.e. newer) message.

Hi, You may want to play with the hidden pref next_on_delete (introduced in 3.13.1) : * A hidden pref has been added, 'next_on_delete'. This controls the message selection when a message is deleted. A setting of '0' which cause the previous, older message to be selected, a setting of '1' will cause the next, newer message to be selected. the pref is in file clawsrc under /home/user/.claws-mail regards Julien
To complete my previous answer, it's a change of behavior circa mid-2016. See : http://www.claws-mail.org/manual/claws-mail-manual.html#adv_hidden (search next_on_delete) and (for example) http://lists.claws-mail.org/pipermail/users/2016-August/017080.html http://lists.claws-mail.org/pipermail/users/2016-August/017097.html regards julien
Duplicate of bug 21290 btw. Might be worth adding a mention to it in the release notes?

I have found the offending setting and changed it, and claws is now behaving the way that a user would expect. What a shame that the default is set to the non-useful option - I fear that new users will find this default very offputting and will simply abandon claws without checking for strange defaults in hidden settings.

The releases notes have been updated. Closing.
