do you want to say that this doesn't happen to you at all or that is doesn't
change with your patch?

Here's a (I hope) fairly accurate description what happens for me:

my Gnus frame first looks like this:

 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|.                                                                            |
|.                                                                            |
|. (35 lines)                                                                 |
|.                                                                            |
|.                                                                            |
 ---- *Group* ----------------------------------------------------------------
| next prev read select catch-up new-news toggle-sub subscribe kill yank      |
| describe list subscribed all killed zombies matching post mail local rescan |
| browse-foreign exit                                                         |
 ---- *Carpal Group* ---------------------------------------------------------

now when I move the mouse pointer to the carpal buffer, this buffer is
automatically scrolled, i.e. it changes to

 ---- *Group* ----------------------------------------------------------------
| browse-foreign exit                                                         |
|                                                                             |
|                                                                             |
 ---- *Carpal Group* ---------------------------------------------------------

when I now scroll up again, this buffer will stay visible until I enter and
quit a summary buffer. Then the same thing happens again when I move the mouse
to this buffer for the first time.

I've added it right at the end of the save-excursion, i.e. the function ends
like this:
--- snip ---
          (set-window-point (get-buffer-window (current-buffer))
                            (point-min)))
        (goto-char (point-min))
        ))))
--- snip ---

I haven't seen this (so far :-) and I can't reproduce it. But I don't have
mouse-5, i.e. I always scroll with mouse-1.

Thanks

Klaus
