Perhaps Rick is observing the behaviour that is driving me crazy ;-) If you set focus on the message pane and then delete the message or move to next message, the focus shifts from the message pane to the message list. When you hit page down/up then, of course the undesirable happens. I filed a comment against a bug: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=620602 but didn't file a new bug (should I have done?), anyway there has been no further comment there from the devs. G -- %~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~% Dr. Gavin Simpson [t] +44 (0)20 7679 0522 ECRC, UCL Geography, [f] +44 (0)20 7679 0565 Pearson Building, [e] gavin.simpsonATNOSPAMucl.ac.uk Gower Street, London [w] http://www.ucl.ac.uk/~ucfagls/ UK.
