I will try to put in word what I have screen shot and try to attach the images (if allowed)

I have set my message list pane to have 5 message headers to be displayed with the 6th showing just a bit (so I know that there are further messages).

Assuming I have 7 messages, the first page will show me the first 5 messages and now I press page down, I expect to be shown the last 2 messages, instead I see the last 3 messages of the first page and the 2 message of the last page.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Message box having 7 messages
2. See first page with 5 messages
3. Press Page Down
4. See last page's 3 messages and 2 messages of the last page


Expected Results:  
1. Message box having 7 messages
2. See first page with 5 messages
3. Press Page Down
4. See last page's 2 messages

Uh, those are not "pages", you can scroll it to any vertical position you like. Don't take the Page Down literally, it just goes to the end of the list - showing as many messages as fits the current view. 

Would be kind of odd if it didn't work this way. You even have the use case for it in your bug report. If it would show only the two last mails in the list you wouldn't see there are further messages above it.
