Description Eric Paris 2011-03-31 18:20:25 UTC
evolution-2.91.92-2.fc15.x86_64

I don't know the right terminology so I'm making up my own.  I'm looking at e-mail.  I have 3 panes.  The 'folder' pane on the left, the 'preview' pane on the bottom right and the 'message selector' pane on the top right.

1) sort the 'message selector' pane by date with the newest at the top.
2) scroll down the 'message selector' pane (a couple pages) and select an old message, it shows up in the 'preview' pane.
3) choose a different folder in the 'folder' pane.
4) choose the original folder in the 'folder' pane.
5) the 'message selector' will properly show messages a couple pages from the top (specifically the last message you select)
6) quickly scroll the 'message selector' pane to the top to look for new messages.
7) a couple seconds later the 'message selector' pane will reset down the couple of pages to the message you have selected
8) if you scroll the 'message selector' back to the top it will stay at the top.

The switch back to the selected message in the 'message selector' even after I moved which page I was looking at is really very annoying.

does this make sense?  evolution didn't used to do this, although I don't know how far back I have to go...

Comment 1 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-07 17:03:49 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no
longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that
version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:
