Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(MailNews Core :: Backend, defect, P3)

Description

Linux (1999-10-28-08 m11)
Steps:
1. Launch Messenger using the -mail option
2. From the Inbox of the (Pop or Imap) account, select a message
3. Press N in the key board, and then keep hitting the arrow downward key

Actual result: Pressing letter N has no response.  Hitting the downward arrow
key takes the focus to the next message. At the end of the thread, it crashes.

Expected result: In nova, on Linux, when I press letter N, it selects the next
message in the thread pane. When I hit the downward arrow key, it scrolls down
to the bottom of the message in the message pane.

On window: Pressing letter N has no response.  Hitting the downward arrow key
takes the focus to the next message. but at the end of the thread, it does not
crash.

Reassign to putterman. Scott, does this need a dependency on Paul's command
dispatching work?

Using the same scenario, it does not crash any more.
