Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[walter sheets]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050730 Firefox/1.0+

Thunderbird(HEAD): this started in late July, I believe.

When switching between accounts or between newsgroups, the first time I click on
the 'down' button in the header window the scrollbar jumps to the top instead of
scrolling down -- after that it works normally until I switch groups again.

This happens only when there is no message already selected, i.e. typically when
there are new messages waiting and I want to scroll down so I can see all the
new titles.

The same thing happens if my first click is on the 'thread' symbol to try to
expand the thread -- the vertical scrollbar jumps to the top, after which it
works normally until I switch accounts again.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open a newsgroup or mail account with new messages waiting.
2.(Make sure there is no message already selected.)
3.Either click on the 'down' scrollbutton or try to expand a thread.
Actual Results:  
The vertical scrollbar jumps to the top instead of moving down.
(If you tried to expand a thread, it didn't expand.)

Expected Results:  
The srollbar should move down (or the thread should expand.)

Seeing this in Winxp , also very old message headers appear, as if the msf file
had been deleted. version 1.0+ (20050719) Ok
