Hi,
I tried to do it in 2.31.90 and it works as expected, Page Up/Down
scrolls the message preview, if it is focused. I cannot find a bug
number for it or a commit, but I recall seeing something like this.
Bye,
Milan

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.

Hi,
ah, I see, I understood Rick's message as PageUp/Down doesn't work at
all, when message preview is focused, and yours is slightly different.
I see the request in your bug (Next/prev shortcuts should focus message
list), is against this PageUp/Down in preview panel, at least partly.

Maybe if it focuses message list only when not in the preview panel,
might work for you and for the bug #620602.

Milan

[Evolution] Scrolling Messages - Ahhh Driving Me Crazy

2010-08-26 Thread Rick Bragg
Hi,

I have been using Evolution for MANY years, and I remember a time way
back when;  I would click inside an email message and hit page up or
page down and it would scroll the message as expected.  

This was many years ago.  I don't know what happened but for many years
since, when I do this, it jumps to another message!  

This has been driving me so crazy, I need to be able to scroll inside
long messages with the keyboard!  

Does anybody have a solution to this, or know why this behavior has
changed so many years ago and was never fixed?

Thanks
Rick
