Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 220173

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Mark Ciliberti]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)
Build Identifier: Mozilla Thunderbird 0.3 (20031013)

I use IMAP for email.  Whenever new mail arrives the message I am reading 
resets to the top of the page requiring me to scroll back down through the 
message in order to finish reading it.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Connect to an IMAP server
2.Open a message that requires the use of the scroll bar.  
3.Scroll beyond the first screen
4.Wait for a new message to arrive

Actual Results:  
When a new message arrives the text in the mesage pane resets to the first 
screen to text. (top of form)

Expected Results:  
The text in the message pane should not have moved.

A couple additional details: this affects my POP account on Win2000 as well, so
it's not limited to IMAP or WinXP. Also, as far as I can tell this is
Thunderbird only; the SeaMonkey 20031028 nightly does not seem to exhibit the bug.
