161077 - the from selection list has one less line than number of addresses

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(MailNews Core :: Composition, defect)

Description

[Michal 'hramrach' Suchanek]

Mozilla 11b OS X and i386 Linux

To reproduce:
1) Open MailNews
2) click Compose button on toolbar
3) click the From selection list

Result:
A list drops down which contains my addresses.
It has a horizontal scrollbar and _no_ vertical scrollbar.
In all cases I have seen exactly one address is not visible because there is too
little space for all addresses to be shown at once.  
It works like this even if there are only two addresses in the list. I have
usually 2-5 addresses in this list.

Expected:
List that does not show all content should have a scrollbar (vertical in this case).
Far more items should be in the list to justify the fact some are not shown.

Michal Suchanek: is this still an issue for you with current builds 
(1.3 or 1.4b) of Mozilla?  It seems to be working OK for me.

The results are a bit better with Moz 2003-05-07-14.
- I can scroll addresses up and down so that I can get to all of them
- Only three of four addresses are shown at once (why?)
- the scrollbar is not drawn correctly

This appears related to bug 142920 (which is on Linux).

However, I have eight identities on my Windows system and the dropdown expands 
to include all of them, in both 1.3 Final and 1.4RC1.  (Actually, it expands 
even a little further -- see bug 207013.)

I'm setting this bug to OS=Mac for now, but as I only have Windows machines to 
test with, I'm not able to QA this further.

Same thing happens in 2003110115.  I have two addresses and only the first one
is shown. There is not vertical scrollbar.
Windows XP Professional.

Works for Me in Thunderbird 1.0 OSX.

In fact, my From selector will not display a horizontal scrollbar, even if I
squeeze the compose window to 100ish pixels. The addresses just truncate.

The vertical scrollbar is often a bit cramped, but still usable.

you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
