95872 - Resizing last column resizes other columns

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: XUL, defect)

Description

[risto.kankkunen]

1. Show columns Subject, Sender and Size.
2. Make the Size column narrower.

You'll notice that also the Sender and Subject columns have resized. Only two
columns should change sizes: one to narrow and one to widen.

This effect doesn't happen with every resize, but frequently.

Attachment: After narrowing Size column, both Subject and Sender have grown

I can see even stranger things happen, but this is harder to reproduce:

Start from a similar situation, but now try to grow the last column, Size. Size
grows, but only marginally so that the divider leaves behind to the right of the
arrow cursor. What happens is that the Sender shrinks and the Subject grows
while you drag the cursor left. Once Sender is just wide enough to display the
title, it starts growing again while Subject shrinks, if you still move left.
Then no column resizes even if you move your mouse even further left.

Unfortunately I don't have means to capture the display with the cursor to
illustrate this scenario.

Risto, most of the bugs you are filing are not mailnews specific.

Reassign to XPToolkit.

Sorry! I thought if I have only found the problem in MailNews/W2000, I should
report that even if I suspect it might be a general XUL problem for all platforms...

Seems to get a little confused in how to distribute the widths over the columns
when one or more of the columns is hidden. [By the way, when is evaughan back?]

I can no longer reproduce this bug on 2002040314/Linux.
I think you can mark as FIXED or WORKSFORME.
