more on the summary refocusing problem

[David Hedbor]

It seems like the problem with moving the cursor to the wrong message
only appears if:

1) the article buffer is not already visible
2) the message you select is not visible in the summary buffer after
   the article buffer is created.

ie:


Before selecting (<- is the pointer)
 
_______________
| Read MSG <- |
| Read MSG    |
| Read MSG    |
| Read MSG    |
| Read MSG    |
| Read MSG    |
| New MSG     |
---------------

Press 'n'.

New look:
_______________
| Read MSG    |
| Read MSG    |
| Read MSG <- |
| Read MSG    |
---------------
| Article     |
| Buffer with |
| New MSG     |
---------------

If I do R or whatever now, it will reply to message #3 where the point 
is.

Do you automatically display cached messages in your groups?  That's
causing me strange behavior similar to (but not quite the same as)
yours.

Yes, I do. However I get the same behavior when entering a group that
has a lot of messages and opening one "farther down".
