163191 - Unable to resize columns in Subscribe

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[Rob Wilcox]

When you go to the screen where you try to subscribe to newsgroups, there are
several things wrong with the screen :

- The pop-up window is not sizable.

- The columns in the window are not sizable, so if the newsgroup names are long
and share something in common, you can't determine which one is which.  eg
microsoft.public.exchange2000.admin
microsoft.public.exchange2000.application-conversion etc
When you see the above in the window you only see as far microsoft.public.exc !

- At the bottom of the window above the OK, Cancel, Help buttons there is a text
box that seems to serve no purpose. You can not select it at all.

Thanks
Rob

Jan, think you might've broken the resizing issue with the fix for bug 82840?

Rob, I don't see the other two issues relating to window size and the textbox,
what theme are you using?

well, if it is really needed we can add splitters between tree columns

Regarding the theme..  Just whatever is the default, ie I've not changed it.

You can see the three problems in the screen shot that I attached 
titled "Newsgroup subscription window".

Rob, I'm still unable to see either additional issue you raised in this report.
 As for the resize issue, that is now VERIFIED FIXED with:

Mac OS X 10.1.5 - 2002-08-29-08
Windows 2000    - 2002-08-29-08
RedHat 7.3 Linux  2002-08-29-08

Both Modern and Classic skins.

If you still see those issues (window not resizable and the empty textfield),
please file a new bug for each one separately.

I'm able to resize and I see no textbox on the trunk builds mentioned above.
