Unless, I’m doing some wrong that is.

Let me describe: I open a topic to read it, go to end. Then return to “Latest” (sometimes by mouse, sometimes by keyboard). Then I see the topic I just read is highlighted, and the highlight fades away in a few seconds. That is how my position **is** remembered. Here’s how it is not (and thus _half_):

If I use j to move to the next topic down, it doesn’t start the line that was just highlighted (or the line below it). It starts at the top every time.

Can this be fixed? It’s a minor annoyance, and nothing that should hold up the upcoming release, but maybe in the next?
