thunderbird forgets location in a folder

fc38
tb 115.4.1

I sort my mail into many folders, using message filters.

When I select a folder, the list of messages is focused somewhere in the past, nowhere near the last item I opened (normally the latest).
I have to scroll down to bring the message into view, and it is usually highlighted (so TB knows but hides it).

I want the last message to be selected (shown in the right message body pane) when I open a folder.

Same occurs in F39. It is really boring. Bit of an oversight, ignored 
the UI to make it "as difficult to read my email as possible colour 
scheme, and highlight old emails in every folder". Hopefully, that will 
also be fixed soon.

But maybe never tested on typical email users, so probably needs a 
bugzilla check and entry...
