I can reproduce problems in the summary buffer:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(setq mouse-autoselect-window t gnus-carpal t)
(custom-set-faces
 '(mode-line ((t (:box (:line-width 2 :style released-button))))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

With the above settings, the *Carpal Summary* buffer looks like this
when I move the mouse into it:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
article headers uudecode enter-digest fetch-parent mail move copy respool
threads lower kill post post local mail followup reply cancel misc exit fed-up

--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

After I press `M-<' (beginning-of-buffer) the lower half of the
letters in the last line are hidden by the mode line.  This effect is
also present in other buffers with your customization of `mode-line'.

I think this is a more general problem or a mis-interaction of several
features/customizations.  I doubt that changing
`gnus-carpal-setup-buffer' (as you suggested earlier) is the right
solution.

Bye, Reiner.
