Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 59108

(SeaMonkey :: Preferences, defect)

Description

[Nicolas Bock]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.7) Gecko/20011226
BuildID:    2001122617 (0.9.7)

Under certain conditions one can open the categories in the preferences window
and push the lower categories off the window without getting a scroll bar. Those
categories are then not reachable anymore.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.go to edit/preferences
2.Click on the little triangle left of Navigator
3.Do the same with Composer
4.Mail...
5.and so on, after a while the unfolded categories won't fit inside the window
anymore, but no scroll bar appears.
6.One can however resize the whole preferences window to make the hidden
categories visible again.
7.now click on the little triangle left of any visible categorie. The scroll bar
appears as it should have already earlier.
8.from then on everything works as it should, i.e. a repeat of steps 2 through 5
will produce a scroll bar just at the right time.

Actual Results:  The scroll bar doesn't appear the first time the categories are
expanded. Only a minimizing of one of the categories will produce the scroll bar.

Expected Results:  It should appear the first time already.
