Steps to reproduce:

mailnews.scroll_to_new_message is set to true. Prior to the most recent T'Bird update (now running 115.1.0 (64-bit) released from openSUSE), it worked properly.

Actual results:

When opening a folder with new messages, Thunderbird no longer scrolls to any new message.

Expected results:

It should have scrolled to either the most recent or the oldest new message (you choose which one).

Keywords: regression
Summary: mailnews . scroll_to_new_message seems to be broken → mailnews.scroll_to_new_message seems to be broken

The default behavior in TB 102 has been as follows:

Selecting a folder that has received a new message scrolls this message into view without selecting it, with the message pane blank. Only when mailnews.scroll_to_new_message is set to false by user the previously selected message should be restored in this case.

I noticed another regression in this context: When a folder has been opened for the first time and therefore has no selections yet, for example the Inbox when starting Thunderbird, the new message headers should be shown as soon they have arrived. The patch covers this case as well.
