It happens *far* more frequently than that for me, but not all the time
(otherwise I wouldn't expect otherwise :-).

Most of the time, when it happens the "target article" would be in the
last line or 2 of the header pane, but that's not always the case.  I
*think* when that's not the case it's typically a thread with *LOTS*
of replies (several times more than would "fit" in the header pane, the
way I have it sized), but I haven't payed enough attention to those
cases to be sure.
