Note to the developers: I find this behavior of the folder list annoying as well and wish it would go away.

In fact I dislike the (existing) notion of the Folder List having focus at all. The only point of it is to allow folder selection using the keyboard, but since this is something I never use (not just hardly ever but literally *never*) I find it a waste of cognitive space. Furthermore it occasionally traps me when I hit "." and find a ridiculous text box waiting for me to type more characters of the folder name[1]. poc [1] Ridiculous for two reasons: a) I'm not sure it's even possible for a folder name to begin with a "." on an IMAP server, and b) even it it's possible, none of my folders start with "." so what's it waiting for? (In fact this makes the whole text-box folder selection thing a crock even apart from the "." issue.) I'm afraid I have strong feelings about this rather trivial point because I've been complaining it since Evo 2.0 in 2004 (http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=268644). _______________________________________________ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list _______________________________________________ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
