Thanks for the help!

I'll keep an eye on that. Although the symptoms seem to be somewhat different:

- In the bug, the problem seems to be related to the search command, while I
  experience the problem regularly, but completely independently from
  searching.

- In the bug, the problem seems to be somewhat reproducible. They even have
  some archive of the gcc maling list to reproduce, while for me it is pretty
  much random when the problem is triggered.

- In the bug, the problem seems to be triggered only when attachments are
  present in the mail. For me, the bug is triggered even if there are no
  attachments at all in the displayed messages. I just confirmed that by
  alternately showing
  http://lists.mutt.org/pipermail/mutt-users/Week-of-Mon-20201214/002273.html
  http://lists.mutt.org/pipermail/mutt-users/Week-of-Mon-20201214/002274.html
  jumping back and forth between those two messages, which both do not have
  any attachments.
  This way I could trigger the problem by not touching any attachments at all.

I guess I'll need to go to the opensuse list to clarify whether the bug is
related to me or maybe this is a completely new one.
