160490 - combobox tree does not show (filter move to folder) if x beyond width

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(MailNews Core :: Filters, defect)

Description

From Bugzilla Helper:

I have a 4 x multimonitor system, where nr 2 is primary. The combobox that shows
the folders tree, when setting filter rules (perform action move to folder [x])
does not show when the filter rules window is on monitor 3 or 4. It does show on
monitor 1 and 2. So I assume something goes wrong if the popup of the combo has
to show at an x-location that is  beyond the width of the primary screen.
Right-clicking on a message and selecting 'move to ...' works fine.

I'm not aware of other places where tree-like comboboxes are used, so I filed it
under filter. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the 'filter rules' window.
2. Select 'Move to folder' at 'Perform this action'
3. Try to select a folder.
4. Move window to screen to the right of primary.
5. Try to select a folder.


Actual Results:  Nothing gets showed, as if no mail-folders exist.

Expected Results:  Show the mail-folders for the selected account.

The tree-combo that is behind the 'New folder...' button does work fine, so it
seems to be only the tree-combo for that action.

Lacking even a second monitor I can't reproduce. However, the filter rules
window was recently changed, so this might have been fixed already. 
Reporter, do you still see this problem?
