Note that when it is in this state (displaying some random portion of the widened buffer, usually near the beginning) any action which causes any window to be redisplayed will make things go back to normal. Typing ESC ESC will redisplay your inbox buffer correctly, for example. And you don't have to kill a buffer to reproduce this -- I get it if my cursor is in the summary buffer, I reply, and then switch back to the inbox buffer. -- Jamie
