I'm not seeing this currently, but it does describe I think an older reported issue

I'm still seeing this - weird, it doesn't happen EVERY time, but does seem to happen MOST times.

Yes I see that in 2 ways. 
1. Is precisely not scrolling following the selection so that the selected msg falls out of view. I can repro almost always, lso with group by sort expanded by * (sel a msg in old msg, the * to expand today etc ..). Confirmed

[Second may just be another bug, tell me so.]
2. With * and arrows or twisty and is eating progressively the msg under a thread above .. [scrollbar has nothig to do, they just dissapear]. 

Insiting I eventually get a crash with 
Crash ID: bp-41102878-93f5-11dd-9e3b-001cc4e2bf68
Crash ID: bp-bdae1687-93f5-11dd-a99f-001a4bd43ed6

This I reproduced clearly with a specific thread that actually had a twisty that was not expanding anything and is collapsing the next msg/threads.( Yes it does hide full collapsed threads.) The specific thread that is a bogus one in test profile is not expanding although I know it's there. I have the feeling that the crash occurred when the threaded [with twisty] msg ate all under and got to the point of eating itself .. not jokin  

I cannot determine what is so special about that specific thread. I can provide mbox and msf for that as they are test profiles. But I think I would prefer to just send them directly on request as they still contain addresses and such ..

Shows on imap but not on the same in pop/

SeaMonkey twin  Bug 165782 

btw, I also see this in version 2.0.0.17 (20080914), so was it fixed at a certain point? to go for regression . or was always there?

filed Bug 458868 on issue 2 from comment #3
It has nothing to do with this one.

And again to make c4 clear, I see *this* one (scroll ..) on tb 2 and 3 same, not the crashing one. And would confirm.


Also, I think I can always reproduce this with a certain detail. I does scroll out of view only if the list already has a scrollbar (being longer than screen) and not when starting from a pane where no scroll appears (few msg). [With *]

Works here very well. I think it was fixed along the way, cause I know it very well. 

Not only does it not hide/scroll out of view on expand anymore, but if you select a msg-top of thread ok- and scroll out of view and then hit* it brings the selected msg in the middle of the thread pane.

WFM of fixed? It was probably fixed by another change ..
