no automatic scroll in kmail inbox for new messages

I'm using kmail 1.11.1 on kde 4.2 in opensuse 11.1

All my folders are set to jump to the first unread or new message when 
entering a folder, and that works fine.

However, under the previous kmail on kde 3.5, when new mail arrived in the 
inbox, the inbox message list automatically scrolled to reveal the arriving 
messages even though the focus of the cursor remained on the inbox message 
being read.  In kmail on kde 4.2 that behaviour has disappeared. Whatever the 
setting for aggregation or sort order, or for looping in the kmail 
configuration misc section, the message list remains the same, and it is 
necessary to scroll manually up the list to see the new messages.

Before I report this as a bug, I'd like to know:

a)	 if others can confirm this change in behaviour
and
b)	if it a deliberate change or a bug?
