222186 - Window pane position is reset when new mail arrives.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 220173

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Simon]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0)
Build Identifier: Mozilla Thunderbird 0.2 (20030901)

When reading through an email in the preview pane which is longer than one page 
i.e you have to scroll down to continue reading it. The window itself gets 
reset to the top again if a new message arrives. This is most anoying. Sorry if 
this has been reported before but I could not locate whilst searching through 
existing bugs.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select a message that will displau more than one screen of content in the 
preview pabe. 
2. Scroll down so you are not at the top of the message.
3. Wait until a new mail arrives.
4. The scroll bars/ position you are currently at in the preview pane is reset 
to the top of the message and you loose your reading position.

Actual Results:  
Postion reset to top of preview pane.

Expected Results:  
Kept current position in preview pane and not sent me to top again ... you get 
it?

no crash
