Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 367710

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[Jürgen 'JiHa' Harter]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.2pre) Gecko/20070111 SeaMonkey/1.1 Mnenhy/0.7.5.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.2pre) Gecko/20070111 SeaMonkey/1.1 Mnenhy/0.7.5.0

After clearing a quicksearch (above the threadpane) "Subject or Sender contains" selected message is no longer visible in threadpane (focus lost).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select a mail- or news-folder which contains a lot of messages (vertical sroll bars are present in threadpane) 
2. Establish a search in the field above the threadpane "Subject or Sender contains"
3. Select one of the found messages in the threadpane
4. Clear the search (using the "Clear"-Button or just delete manually)
Actual Results:  
The last selected message is still selected (and its content is visible in the messagepane) _but_ the selected message is not visible in the threadpane because it's out of focus.

Expected Results:  
The selected message should also be in focus of the visible threadpane. 

It is possible to use the arrow-keys (up, down) to jump to the selected message and its neighbors and to make it visible in the threadpane.

mailnews.scroll_to_new_message doesn't have an effect.

Probably related to bug 365049 - you might want to try the patch there.
