Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 201379

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.4a) Gecko/20030401

This is kind of hard to describe..

When a folder has just enough messages to fill the top pane (on a new install
with default windows fonts, etc. at 1024*768 this is 8 messages), the top of the
bottom pane begins moving up and down quickly.. I assume mozilla has some kind
of way of deciding how big the frame should be but the settings conflict

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install fresh mozilla with mail
2. set resolution to 1024*768
3. Put 8 messages in a folder (Easiest way to do this is to make 8 drafts)
4. Look at folder
5. Notice repeated bouncing!

Actual Results:  
Bouncing!

Expected Results:  
Not bounced :)

MrJeff: please check the initial report in Bug 201460, which is very like your 
report.  I'm duping to 201379, which is the Mail-splitter-specific variation on 
201460.  If you agree with the dupe, please mark this as Verified.

Yep, it's a dup. I'll move discussion of the bug over there!
