218435 - While viewing in Mail client, the bar seperating the inbox from the message text jumps

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 201379

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[Eric Mullinax]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5b) Gecko/20030827
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5b) Gecko/20030827

If I have more than six messages in my inbox (how ever many messages it takes to
fill up that first half of the screen before the scroll bar kicks in), the bar
seperating my inbox from my message's text will jump and wiggle causing my not
to be able to read my messages's text.  I found this problem before in a mozilla
build on Linux, but the latest 1.5b does it on my XP laptop.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  I open the mail client
2.  I click on a new or old message in my inbox

Actual Results:  
The horizontal bar between my inbox and my message's text jumps and shakes and
causes me not to be able to read my message.

Expected Results:  
It should have stayed still and allowed me to read my text, acting as a static
seperator.

Does the problem go away once you've dragged the splitter to move it?

No, it still jumps around.  It'll sometimes jump, and sometimes it won't.  I
think it depends on how many messages you have.  It most often occurs when
scrolling from the bottom message to the top message.
