Hi Jack:

Thanks a lot for your feedback!

Unfortunately, I have no idea why or how to fix, but I'll be glad to test any ideas anyone else does come up with.  I'm currently using gtk 3.24.1, but I'm pretty sure it's been the case through several versions.  I have 3.24.4 and 3.24.5 available to test, in case anyone thinks it might matter.  I do use threading, but cannot say if that makes things better or worse.

An additional point – it seems to affect at least several themes.  And I couldn't observe it in other applications also using list or tree views (e.g. the xfce file manager, etc.).

Scrolling the list up and down does not change this.  However, grabbing the divider and adjusting it (even by a miniscule amount) resets something, and the last message line shows correctly.

Using the up and down arrows to move between the messages always (correctly?) redraws the currently selected message line, but may go back to a "wrong" display - blank or partly overwritten by another.

I can confirm I saw these, too, but a lot more rarely.

Yes, agree.  The point is: is there any (programmatic?) workaround?

Cheers,
Albrecht.
