[Bug 921013] Re: can no longer drag and drop an unread message in evolution

2012-04-14 Thread Russ W. Knize
Yes, this has been driving me crazy. Another side effect is if I select several messages and try to move them. If the last message I click is not already marked as read, then when I go to drag them they all get deselected because the UI instead decides that my drag is a click on the unread one.
