Updated bug description with a design resolution. Marking as Won't Fix
as described behaviour is intended.
** Description changed:
Steps:
* open messaging app
* drag one of the items on the list to the right
* tap on the trash icon
Expected:
* only today's messages are removed or at least there's a confirmation dialog
Current:
* whole history of messaging with a contact is removed
The fact that conversations are separated by days suggests as if a
single item was a conversation within that day. But in fact they're
complete conversations just ordered by date (which is actually different
than the phone log, which *is* split by date, and removing an item there
only affects a day's events).
I wonder if it would be better to indeed show multiple entries for a
single contact, in each day a message was sent either way, this being a
shortcut to a certain message when opening. It feels like this would be
better in the long run (imagine many years of messaging history). That
might deserve another bug though.

+
+ ------- UX comment & resolution --------
+
+ There is an active action of
+ 1. dragging the list item in the conversation overview to the right
+ 2. tapping the delete icon
+
+ This means that there is already a two step interaction in place before
+ the message is deleted, hence no additional confirmation dialog is
+ needed. This would place an unnecessary 3rd step in place.
+
+ It wouldn't make much sense to delete just today's messages, because you
+ are removing the whole conversation. The behaviour of removing the whole
+ message with a contact is intended.
