The message below is primarily for Paul (claws at thewildbeast.co.uk), but
I thought I'd post it here in case anyone else wants to try to
reproduce this (alleged) bug. (Basic details: Claws 4.0.0 on a Linux
system.) My hope is that I can get this bug re-opened so it has a better
chance of getting fixed at some point in the future. :) Cheers,

Hi Paul,

Just checking in to see if you've had a chance to try to reproduce Bug
4520
(https://www.thewildbeast.co.uk/claws-mail/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=4520)
based on the revised 'Steps to Reproduce' (STR) referred to in Comment
#5?

In case it's helpful, here is the full updated STR in one place:

* 1. Setup: Use the 'Standard' layout from 'View - Layout' in the menu.
  Have one of the HTML Viewer plugins loaded. In 'Config - Prefs -
  Message View - Text Options - HTML Messages', make sure the "Select
  HTML Part..." option is enabled. (If it's relevant, I also have the
  other two options in that section enabled.)

* 2. Show the message view and adjust its size until there are six
  messages visible in the message list. Hide the message view.

* 3. Go to a folder that has enough messages to fill at least half or
  more of the message list's visible area.

* 4. Select a message near the bottom of the message list's visible
  area that has an HTML part.

* 5. Show the message view.

My Actual Result: The selected message is not visible in the message
list.

Expected Result: The selected message would be visible in the message
list as well as the message below it.

On my system the bug shows up with LiteHTML, Fancy, and Dillo plugins.
The only difference is that, with the Dillo plugin, after the STR is
complete, if you hide the message view, Claws will crash and terminate.
Will be interested in finding out your results.

If you are able to reproduce this, would you consider re-opening this
bug?

Thanks,
Dustin
