Correct.

Correct, multi-pane mode, not the tabbed layout.

If I switch to tabbed, the issue isn't present, but the issue is that the 
groups list shrinks in size, and in tabbed layout that's a non-issue.

Ironically, now I cannot reproduce the issue at all.  I've just scrolled 
through the messages that it was consistently happening with, and nothing 
changed - even in a small window (I normally run maximized).

Yeah, 3.2.6 here.

Could be - I'll keep my eyes open for the behaviour again, and if I see 
it, I'll check the encoding to see if that provides a hint.

openSUSE 15.4 is getting a release candidate tomorrow IIRC, so I may 
rebuild to run on that release and see if it behaves any differently.  
I'm building using the Open Build Service (build.opensuse.org), though 
that shouldn't make a difference.
