I have the Select Messages column switched on, with its handy checkbox for selecting multiple messages, usually for deletion or filing out of my inbox.
This works perfectly except that a collection of selected messages will instantly become unselected if the user clicks on a message instead of inside a checkbox.
In my head, if there's a checkbox it should be sticky -- in other words, the only way to deselect all selected messages would be to use the "deselect all" checkbox at the top of the column. In its current form, it's actually easier to NOT use the checkboxes and hold down the ctrl key instead, to select/deselect odd messages.
The existing behaviour seems so odd that I wonder if I've missed a configuration step somewhere. But if this IS the way it is, can I ask the devs if they might consider taking a look at this behaviour and finding a way to improve it for the more shaky-handed amongst us?
