157292 - Cannot read attachment names - box is far too narrow, and no horizontal scrollbar

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 80220

(MailNews Core :: Attachments, defect)

Description

[resigned]

When viewing an email in the bottom-right pane,  the "attachments" box is a
fixed width, and attachment names over a very short length (approx 30
characters) cannot be read.

1) There is NO HORIZONTAL scrollbar (but there is a vertical one).

2) Even though the names of the attachments are long (80 characters or so), the
attachments box is a fixed width taking up only about 250 pixels width (on a
1400x1050 lcd screen) - leaving lots of free space in the middle of the
mini-pane. It would be much nicer if the attachments box auto-resized to the
larger of:

 "(total mini-pane width) - (width used by the Subject/etc fields)"
      and
 "(total width required to display the name of the longest-named attachment)"

Hmm... I see what you mean, (I obviously chose poor search terms when trying to
see if it was an already-open bug).

HOWEVER, that bug doesn't include any discussion of HORIZONTAL scrollbar -
should I add a comment to the other bug, or should this be re-opened as a new
bug, keeping part 1 (horiz scrollbar) and removing part 2 (which dupes bug 80220)???
