Hi,

Since recently, when I drag-and-drop an email from my inbox to a subfolder, the destination folder is automatically selected as the active folder. That is very frustrating behaviour.

Also it seems to me that, when dragging-and-dropping not fast enough, I seem not to be moving the selected message, but instead I have a lot of chance of moving the destination folder or so. Very weird, and certainly not the way it used to work.

Has something changed recently, and is there an option to keep using the previous settings please?

Thanks, Bart

Oh yeah, I'm working with Thunderbird 32.0 (beta channel), on Windows 7.

You are not using a released version. You are using the beta version which is still being tested etc. I presume you are using the beta version to help with testing etc. If you have found a bug in v32.0, then please report it so that the developers can work on this.

If you prefer to try the current download: Suggest you uninstall the beta and download a fresh version from here:
