Gmail message displaying halfway down.
June 9, 2011 4:59 PM

Gmail filter. When I use the Y shortcut to archive a message I have scrolled down to read, Gmail has started opening the next message similarly scrolled down. This means I have to scroll back up to see the beginning of the message. Please hope me. Occurs in FF4.01 and IE8. Happens for both my personal and work Gmail.

"E" also archives, does it cause the same behavior?

E does the same thing. I've had a look in settings, and can't see anything obvious.

I believe Auto-Advance (where you go straight to the next message instead of back to your inbox) is still a Labs feature - that is, it's beta. Top right corner, click the gear icon. Go into Labs and try disabling and re-enabling Auto-Advance. If that doesn't work, click the Send Feedback link immediately under the feature and send a description of your problem. Or you could search the Google Help forums for Gmail labs features and see if it's a known issue.

Thanks IndigoRain. That answer is giving me the vocabulary to try some new ways to try and fix it. I had forgotten it was a labs feature.

I can't help, but wanted to say I've been having the same issue, and I neither use key shortcuts nor have I ever enabled the auto-advance feature. (I'll try enabling and disabling it just for kicks though).

Problem started about 2 days ago, out of the blue.

I've noticed this as well. Looks like a known issue, with no workaround at this moment
