131307 - right-click delete/move to context menu commands ensures the original row is visible

Status: NEW

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[Sean Su]

steps to reproduce:
1) select a message in the thread pane
2) scroll until the selected message is no longer in view
3) right-click on any message and select either the delete or the
   move to command

notice that the originally selected row is brought back into view after the
command is executed.

It was recommended that this not be the default behavior.  It should not scroll,
but stay where it is.

[Sean Su]

one of the reasons for not performing the autoscroll is in the case of the
thread pane containing thousands of messages.

Scrolling to the bottom and deleting or moving a message (via the right-click
context menu path) will force the user to rescroll back to where they were due
to the autoscroll.

I'd argue that this is not that common of a scenario, and could wait until 
after 1.0

Discussed at Mail News bug meeting with Engineering, QA Mktng and PjM.  Decided

MASS-CHANGE:
This bug report is registered in the SeaMonkey product, but has been without a comment since the inception of the SeaMonkey project. This means that it was logged against the old Mozilla suite and we cannot determine that it's still valid for the current SeaMonkey suite. Because of this, we are setting it to an UNCONFIRMED state.

If you can confirm that this report still applies to current SeaMonkey 2.x nightly builds, please set it back to the NEW state along with a comment on how you reproduced it on what Build ID, or if it's an enhancement request, why it's still worth implementing and in what way.
If you can confirm that the report doesn't apply to current SeaMonkey 2.x nightly builds, please set it to the appropriate RESOLVED state (WORKSFORME, INVALID, WONTFIX, or similar).
If no action happens within the next few months, we move this bug report to an EXPIRED state.

This is also one of my minor peeves...

Yeah, this is _very_ annoying.
