I think what the original person meant is that if you have no message selected and something happens to the folder, the system automatically selects message number 1 which invariably means that the view immediately scrolls to the top of the list. As the original poster said, this most often happens if you delete a message, then expunge - the message you did have selected has disappeared and so the system doesn't know where to go.
I have some sympathy with the devs. If you delete & expunge a message in the middle of the folder list, which message should then be highlighted - if it's an unthreaded view, then just select the next in the list - but if it's a threaded view, the next message may be in some distant thread and it would be counter intuitive. So they obviously went for message number 1. P.
