Distribution: Fedora Core release 3 (Heidelberg) Package: Evolution Priority: Normal Version: GNOME2.8.0 2.0.2 Gnome-Distributor: Red Hat, Inc Synopsis: Reading long message with http links in caret mode Bugzilla-Product: Evolution Bugzilla-Component: Mailer Bugzilla-Version: 2.0.2 Description: Description of Problem: When reading a long message, for example, if you click on one of the http links while Caret Mode is set the location in the message will jump to the bottom of the message. Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. open up your Linux Today News message 2. Make sure Caret Mode is set View->Message Display->Caret Mode should be checked 3. scroll down the message and click on the http link Actual Results: The display jumps to the bottom of the message. Expected Results: Perhaps this is the expected result. Turning off Caret Mode - the display remains where it was last positioned How often does this happen? Always when Caret Mode is set. Additional Information: I am not sure how Caret mode got set initially but it was always an annoyance when visiting a link to have to find my place in the text again. Click on some text near/around the link and the display would remain more or less where it started. If you scrolled a ways away from where you clicked and then visited a link, the display would jump to where you last clicked displayed at the top of the message area. Setting qa contact to the default for this product. This bug either had no qa contact or an invalid one.
happening even in evo 2.2.x. confirming bug.
