I've been lazy and haven't updated yet, but I can verify that the selected 
message does NOT always stay in sight on 0.14.0, either.  Whatever happened, 
it was apparently in one of the 0.13.9x pre-0.14.0 betas.  I've found the 
behavior frustrating as well.

One work-around I've found is to just hit space until the next message comes 
up.  PAN then re-centers the new message in the overview (aka header, even if 
that's inaccurate) pane, and you can arrow or click back up to the earlier 
one from there if necessary.  The centering behavior on space-reading still 
works, thank-goodness!
