Title:
[messaging] Too easy to delete whole conversation history with a
contact
Status in Ubuntu UX:
Fix Committed
Status in messaging-app package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Steps:
* open messaging app
* drag one of the items on the list to the right
* tap on the trash icon
Expected:
* only today's messages are removed or at least there's a confirmation dialog
Current:
* whole history of messaging with a contact is removed
The fact that conversations are separated by days suggests as if a
single item was a conversation within that day. But in fact they're
complete conversations just ordered by date (which is actually
different than the phone log, which *is* split by date, and removing
an item there only affects a day's events).
I wonder if it would be better to indeed show multiple entries for a
single contact, in each day a message was sent either way, this being
a shortcut to a certain message when opening. It feels like this would
be better in the long run (imagine many years of messaging history).
That might deserve another bug though.

------- UX comment & resolution --------
There is an active action of
1. dragging the list item in the conversation overview to the right
2. tapping the delete icon
This means that there is already a two step interaction in place
before the message is deleted. As an additionally security measure we
could introduce an additional confirmation dialog.
