109912 - odd line wrapping of message subject

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[K Chayka]

win32 build 2001111303, win98se

Line wrapping in the mail-news subject bar is somewhat unpredictable.  There
seems to be some width value carried over from the previously read message.
Screen shots attached.  Don't recall seeing this in the 11/9 build.

Known nasty bug 106358. See related comment by Skewer: "Things get *very* messy
if the length of the headers is longerthan the maximum space available to the
preview pane/message window, which under the circumstances is very conceivable".

Comment 4

[K Chayka]

Skewer's comments in bug 106358 relate to the header length (height) and View
All Headers.  What I'm seeing is an oddity with width, not height.  Plus the
view is Normal Headers, not All Headers.  Is the inconsistent width really a
related problem?

Reporter, I couldn't find anything related except bug 106358 (although it refers
to All Headers mode). Based on your screenshot, I' m also seeing this on
20011113/Win98 and as far as I can remember, it appeared after View All Headers
implementation. To check if this is the case, please select a message with
subject wider than that of "Subject" column in preview pane. Now
increase/decrease the width of this column and watch if Subject wrapping changes.

I can't seem to get the width of the subject column in the threadpane to have
any real effect one way or another.  The subject line wraps at different places
without ever changing the subject column.  Maybe I'm doing it wrong. :) It
appears it did start happening with the View All Headers check in, though.  I
don't see this behavior on the 11/9 build, but do on the 11/12 build.

Comment 8

Just attached a screenshot with a relatively long message, wrongly wrapped (it
shouldn't wrap at all). Conditions: Classic theme, new profile with all settings
left to default. Build 2001111503, Win98, maximized window, at 800x600. No dupes
found. Confirming.

I believe I fixed this before I went away for the holiday with some smime
changes. Can you try again on a more recent build? This seems to be working for me.

[Dimitrios]

Works for me too. Nice fix!

Cool, I don't see this problem, either.  If anyone else does, please re-open
this and attach a sample message, thanks.
