GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 227697
When revisting folder selected message should be centered
Last modified: 2006-01-23 21:22:52 UTC
In many folders, the last message will be the selected one. When the folder gets new mail and is revisited or refreshed, the new messages will not be displayed in the message scan window because the selected message line (and formerly the last one) will still be at the absolute bottom. Seeing the new message lines requires clicking on the (small) scrollbar, and thus it is a pain to browse various folders each of which has a few new messages. One possible solution is to make sure the selected message line is centered when a folder is revisited or refreshed. Then the first few new messages after it will also be visible.
this is an etable bug afaik (since the mailer has no control over positioning)
i'm pretty sure that this is the same bug as bug 255303. marking as duplicate. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 255303 ***
