Attachment: notadjusted.png

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:46.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/46.0
Build ID: 20160511223818

Steps to reproduce:

Select an email


Actual results:

The reply/reply all buttons are hidden out of site (unless I resize the panes accordingly to reveal them) (see notadjusted.png)


Expected results:

The mail preview pane buttons should be adjusted automatically depending on screen size, or overflow so they're all viewable.

Sorry not sure how to edit my original comment, but I wanted to add 'see adjusted' for my adjusted pane to reveal the buttons.

I'm not sure what you mean here?
On the image you have the message preview panel besides the message list panel? So 3-column "vertical" layout.

Then, what do you mean by "adjusting"? Have you removed any of the buttons from the panel so that the rest fits in the space?

Let me clarify what I meant.

Expected behaviour: preview pane buttons should 'bunch up' depending on the width size so all button are still visible.(not adjusted picture)

Actual behaviour: preview pane buttons stay where they are, only visible when pane width size has been adjusted far enough to reveal them. (adjusted picture)

I noticed its the same for the From and To emails, they don't bunch up. If this is expected behaviour, please close this but I assume that this would be better for UIs across different screen sizes.

Thanks. This is the same as bug 525574

Not really. More like bug 1669063 which we've fixed some versions later.
