unnecessary scroll in pager

Reported by: vinc17 Assigned to: mutt-dev
Priority: minor Milestone: 2.0
Component: display Version: 1.5.16
Keywords: Cc:

Description

When viewing a message with <display-message>, Mutt sometimes scroll to the bottom unnecessarily (instead of going directly to the bottom); this can make <display-message> very slow with huge messages via a ssh connection.

Steps to reproduce the bug:
1. Open a mailbox that has a single message.
2. View the message with <display-message>.
3. Go to the bottom of the message with <bottom>.
4. Delete the message with <delete-message>.
5. View the message with <display-message>.

If you can't see the bug because the terminal is too fast, you can see the problem by logging the tty session with script or ttyrec.
