Deltachat-android: preserve selection when new messages come in

[Simon-Laux]

• You don't see what messages you have selected
• Bug: you can select the same message multiple times and the counter of selected messages will increase indefinitely.

how can you reproduce this bug?
if i try to select a selected message a second time, it gets deselected and the counter decreases.

[Simon-Laux]

select message a then message b then message a again and so on

then message a again

hm, this deselects message a for me.
can you reproduce this on different devices? maybe it happens on some android versions?

[Simon-Laux]

It's a very rare bug that appears sometimes after spam touching.
The more common bug with spam touching is that the counter stays at a higher number even when all messages look deselected.
I would say this could be a reason to review that code part again, but it's nothing urgent.

actually I face this bug quite often, and it is easy to reproduce:

1. Select some messages
2. Receive a new message from any chat
3. Current selection disappears, but selection counter is preserved and top bar still is in select mode
4. Select previously selected messages again

@adbenitez thanks for clarifying, this is pretty useful :)

Another way to cause the same effect.
. Select a memsage
. Then scroll through many messages
. Then flies at the beginning

This causes the same effect
v1.0.3

Also when you click send, and when the message is sent,
Apparently anything that causes an update of the chat view causes this error in the selection of a message.
