Re: Interesting UI bug

[Simon Brown <simon cliffestones demon co uk>]

I used to experience something similar sounding. If new mail arrived in the 
mailbox I was currently viewing, CPU load would go up 30% and if I tried to 
scroll the pain with the messages in up and down it would get all garbled. 
to correct it I had to open a different mailbox and then go back. I don't 
experience it anymore, I have no idea exactly when it went away as I got 
into the habit of avoiding the situation.
