(Thunderbird :: Message Reader UI, defect)

Description

[five5v]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-GB; rv:1.9.2.8) Gecko/20100722 Firefox/3.6.8 ( .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET4.0C)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-GB; rv:1.9.2.7) Gecko/20100713 Thunderbird/3.1.1

If I open an email newsletter and scroll down the page to read it, then click on my 'inbox tab' and then return to the newsletter tab, the newsletter does not retain the position that I had got up to (or scrolled down to), instead it re-sets to the top of the email, meaning I have to scroll down again to find where I was up to.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open an email in a new tab, scroll down.
2.Click on Inbox Tab
3.Click back on email tab - thunderbird has 'forgotten' where you'd scrolled to.
Actual Results:  
Thunderbird forgot where an email had been scrolled to.

Expected Results:  
I would expect any open tabbed emails to retain their scrolled position, no matter what other tabs or windows I view.
