Description Cliff Wells 2003-01-09 18:29:01 UTC 
Description of Problem:

If the currently selected message isn't visible in
the message pane, there is no way to go directly
to it, you have to scroll around looking which can
be a pain if the list is long (as in a mailing
list with thousands of messages).  A button on the
toolbar that jumps to the current message would be
useful.  

I found you can work around this now by clicking
the previous message button followed by the next
message button which causes the current message to
be displayed, but a "home" button between the two
would be nice.

And a 'Go to->Selected message' in menu
Comment 2 Mikel Ward 2005-09-06 01:15:42 UTC 
Other applications such as iTunes and Rhythmbox have a keyboard shortcut
(Control-J) to accomplish the same.  Evolution also has something vaguely
similar in the Calendar component: Select Today (Control-Alt-T).

Ideally this feature would also be easily accessible from the keyboard, and my
vote would be for Control-J since that's the binding I expect based on
experience with other applications.

control+j is junk now, which is more appropriate.

as a workaround, set focus to the message list by using e.g. F6, and then use once "arrow up" and once "arrow down".

this could be a GAL bug.

i really think this is fixed now. Am sure srini was doing something with this issue. Adding Srini to the CC list
