Description Chris Pimlott 2008-04-18 21:34:53 UTC

Version:           1.9.6 (using KDE 3.5.8)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

When there are attachments to a message, causing an extra attachments pane to be displayed below the content pane, using page up and page down to scroll through the message scrolls too many lines, skipping about a line and half.

Scrolling via the space bar, or by clicking above/below the bar in the scrollbar, scroll by different amounts and do not skip any lines.  This makes this bug different than 98712.

Some updates - this is referring to the message preview pane of the main window, not the message content pane of an individual message window.

Secondly, I have noticed the amount of lines scrolls (and thus lines skipped) varies depending on the size of the message preview pane.  I have uploaded three screenshots showing the amount of space scrolled for a single page-down with three different message preview pane sizes.

Lastly, a similar effect occurs if there are no attachments (and thus no attachments pane); however, in this situation there is enough "padding" that no lines are actually skipped.  E.g., with the message preview pane sized as in the first screenshot, 5 lines are repeated; with the pane sized similar to the third screenshot, around 1.5 lines are repeated.

I'm not able to reproduce this bug on KDE 4 (trunk r948595).

When I scroll with Page-Down or the spacebar in KMail 1.12.0 (KDE 4.3.0)'s message preview, it always scrolls *exactly* one page. That means I often can't read the last (and then first) line without scrolling up again, because at first I may only have seen the top half, then I only see the bottom half. Very annoying.

BUG: 160990

When scrolling one page, use 80% of the available height of the current
view (not the height of the complete widget including the message structure viewer)

Despite this bug being mentioned as fixed in the Changelog (http://www.kde.org/announcements/changelogs/changelog4_3_1to4_3_2.php), it doesn't seem to be fixed for me.

The *preview pane* still scrolls 100%, not 80%, which makes the great 'press space bar often to read all your new mails' feature less useful.
