273641 - Using spacebar to scroll mail not consistent in RSS feed

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 268503

(MailNews Core :: Feed Reader, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

I can use the spacebar to scroll through email much like I used to OE, but when
I hit the RSS feeds the space bar doesn't scroll the message but just jumps to
the next message. I don't know if this is intended or not, but I would think to
keep with consistency it should scroll through the message like when you are
reading email. 


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Choose any inbox and choose an email that is long enough that you would have
to scoll to reach the end of the message
2. Press the space bar and notice how it scrolls down for you
3. Now choose any RSS feed and choose a message that is long enough that you
would have to scroll down to reach the end of the message.
4. Press the spacebar and notice how it jumps to the next message instead of
scrolling down like it did when you were at the inbox

Actual Results:  
It jumped to the next message without scrolling to the bottom of the message it
was at.

Expected Results:  
It should have scrolled down to the end of the message like it would if you
tried doing this with an email in the inbox

Note that this is sort-of fixed -- it will work now, in version 1.0, for RSS 
items that have been entered with a build including the bug fix.
