Re: Scrolling bug - workaround and enhancement?

[Philip Rhoades <phil pricom com au>]

People,

In long mail items, holding the mouse pointer on the down arrow causes  
a bug where a block of immovable text appears in the middle of the text  
window.  Pawel had a look at for me but he thinks it is a GtkTreeView  
problem.

I have thought of a workaround (for me at least) - which made me think  
of a possible enhancement for balsa.

The problem I have is with one particular (Olympus photography) list  
which is always quite long - the little contents table at the top does  
not help me much trying find the items I want to read so I:

- read all my other mail and leave this list mail item as the sole item  
left in my inbox

- open my inbox with vim for which I have a mapping:

map <F12> :se nowrapscan<CR>ma/^Subject: <CR>kzf'ajj<F12>

- Using F12 in vim then "folds" the text in between subject lines so  
that I only see "Subject: " and a single marker line fold in between  
each subject line.  Now I can just "unfold" only the items I want to  
read.

This seems to work pretty well and I was wondering how hard it would be  
to build something like this into balsa? (assuming others would find it  
useful).

Regards,

Phil.
