Right-click logic?

Hi,

Is there a logical process I'm not thinking of as to why Evo actually jumps to the folder when I right-click on it.

When I right-click on a folder to select [for example] "Mark messages as read" Evo actually navigates to the folder in question and lists all the contents, then displays the menu I requested. On most other MUAs this doesn't happen. Right-clicking on any folder simply highlights it and pops the menu.

...Just a thought.

Cheers,
Phil

I see that Thunderbird remembers which folder was highlighted prior to
the right-click, and automatically switches back to it when the pop-up
menu is closed.  That seems like something we could do.

I ate my Wheaties today and managed to get this working and committed
for Evolution 2.29.2 as well.  As usual there were some unexpected
subtleties to contend with, so feedback on this feature from the early
adopters would be appreciated.

Impressive. Just goes to show why open source is the only way to go!
