Sometimes when I refresh my search buffer, and there are new mails, the topmost (i.e. newest) message seems to be selected (i.e. with green background), but in fact if i hit enter (or do any other state changing action like tagging), notmuch emacs acts on the previously selected message. There is a visual clue to that, the block cursor is still on that previously selected message.

Hi Justus; That should be hl-line-mode, not sure why it's not tracking your cursor. Can you duplicate the issue in emacs -q? Also, what version of emacs is this? d ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread

Yes. As additional data point, I cannot reproduce the problem on my Desktop which has the same emacs version but uses elpa-notmuch 0.31.4-2. On this system, if I run the reproducer, there is no line with a green background, so it is less misleading.

So there's a random anecdote which suggests it might not be that hard to reproduce the bug, (perhaps doesn't require any special messages). In my case, it's less annoying because I have more than a screenful of messages in my inbox (for shame!) so the message with the green bar isn't even visible when emacs' point is moved to the message that is actually selected. So if I hadn't been intentionally looking for this behavior I likely would have never noticed. -Carl ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread
