152511 - If message subject has a long string that can't be wrapped, some widgets (including scroll bar) are lost

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 91662

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[Trevor Boicey]

From Bugzilla Helper:

If you receive a mail message that has a very long string that can't
be word wrapped (ie: a URL with lots of **** in it but no spaces) then the
message view pane loses a lot of the widgets on the right side of the screen.

It seems like internally it's making the window large enough to hold the string
unwrapped, but is drawing a lot of it off screen in a place that you can't get
to, losing the right side of the page.

The scroll bar is also missing into this area, so the screen can't be scrolled
either.

(slightly unrelated, the subject is also not mouse-selectable so you cannot copy
the long URL into a navigator window to see the URL either)


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Send a long email with a long string that will be wider than the view pane
that has no spaces in it, with the contents being an HTML page that is also
wider than the pane. (sending yourself an ebay "browse category" page works)
2. Read that email in the browser. (i use the three pane view with the left pane
full-height)
3. Observe that the right side of the page cannot be gotten to, and the vertical
scroll bar is missing. (vertical keys will scroll up and down, but horizontal
keys will not show the missing page part)

Actual Results:  Part of page unaccessible.

Expected Results:  Perhaps the giant string should have been cut at the screen
width and wrapped, even though no convenient space was available.

The HTML page should either be rendered to the width of the pane, or shown with
a horizontal scroll bar to access all the text.
