Possible Bug for 1.84

What i am thinking, is in trying to remember the Last message you were on, it "remembers" the number of that message. for example, if you Last viewed message #17, and the next turn you only have 5 Messages, it shows the 17th line (far below). I also think that how the game adds Messages to the list after the initial display may have something to do with it. like combat results, colonies built, ect.

yeah, you might be right.
probably a small bug in the code of the listbox.
Anyway, it doesn't cause a crash or anything so it's not that bad.

I did a one turn test just to see.
The .0 turn had 12 msgs, +2 added during game play.
The .1 turn had 29 msgs.
#1> Last message selected was #12 of 14, new turn started on #15 of 29
#2> Last message selected was #14 of 14, new turn started on #17 of 29.
#3 Last message selected was #1 of 14, new turn started on #4 of 29.

I know it makes little sense but it does show one thing. If you want to make sure you don't accidently miss some Messages, click the top message before ending your turn. This imo is very minor, compared to how it use to be. I certainly can live with. Knowing about this is half the battle.

i fix it by clicking on the "All" button wich list all Messages. That also makes them all appear in the list
