It is pretty much this patch, except the reviewers in Bug 1017904 didn't not get it. Note that using ctrl-click to unselect will continue to NOT work, the message must be unselected in the column checkbox.

If you ctrl-click to deselect a message, then context menu delete either that message or another message, a message will be selected, on 78 and linux, for me.
Clearly the best way is to ctrl-click deselect permanently, but the incomprehensible and unusable feedback here has resulted in it being accomplished another way.
