148491 - text wraparound seems broken.

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[fREW k Panisc]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.0+) Gecko/20020528
BuildID:    20020528

In the mail window none of the text will wraparound past a certain length.  It's
like it was hardcoded for a certain resolution.  I resize the window.  but the
text of the message won't...lengthen?  I don't know how to put it.  its like
theres an imaginary right side of the text box.  I hope this is not a "feature."

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make the window bigger than it is when it first comes up.
2. Write a message that should wrap-around

Actual Results:  It wrapped early

Expected Results:  It should have made a newline at the end of the texbox

are you composing as HTML or plain text?
edit->preferences->Mail & News->Composition
"Wrap plain text messages at __ characters"

I don't understand your report. Are you complaining that Mozilla does not create
endless lines? This indeed is a feature as Andrew says. Before sending this is
indeed a soft wrapping, i.e., if you change text it flows.
