2. Select a message or thread near the bottom of the folder
3. Press * to expand all threads

the the viewing area of the folder.

Expected Results:  
The viewing area of the folder should have scrolled to keep the selected message
or thread visible.

Gordon Tyler: this bug appears to have been corrected, no later than 1.3 Final 
where I just tried to duplicate it.  Have you tried a later build than 1.1?

I've just tested it again with: 
 
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030430 
Debian/1.3-5 
 
And the problem still occurs.  
 
As a clarification of the steps to reproduce: it occurs when long threads 
are expanded above the selected message.

I have reproduced this bug with 
  Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624

Also, I found that contracting all threads (using \ ) can generate the same 
symptom.

Related to bug 191787, bug 186999.  Couldn't find an exact dupe, tho; 
confirming.

fwiw, Thunderbird doesn't seem to have this problem (maybe as a result of using the Toolkit); but I still see it with Seamonkey 1.0.

Still does not remember the state of "Expand all threads".  SM 2.49.2
