Minor Gmail bug
Here is a Gmail UI bug I found. It is minor, but such bugs should not occur in decently written code. I have reported it to Google. For the Yahoo folks on LJ- God gives us little pleasures everyday. Here is your little pleasure for the day :-)
Summary: If a large number of conversations are present under a filter/inbox, and all are selected, then when I try to 'deselect' one conversation, all of them get deselected.
Why it is bad: Obviously, I might want to exclude some conversations from the action I wish to perform on all the others.
Details:
OS: Linux (Fedora Core 5 distribution)
Browser: Firefox v1.5.0.1
Steps to reproduce:
1) Ensure label has lots of conversations, so that not all conversations can be seen in one page.
2) Click Select 'All'
3) You will get a message that goes something like:
All 50 conversations on this page are selected. Select all 205 conversations in "blug-tech"
4) Select all conversations using the hyperlink in the above message
5) Now, try to deselect one conversation - you will find that all of them get deselected
Addendum for some folks who asked: Yes, this happens in Windows+IE too
