175751 - Layout problems on mail with attachments

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 188138

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[Roland Lammel]

When viewing mails with attachments and a long TO: list with some long
email-addresses in it, the layout changes now in 1.2b. 

In 1.1, as the email-addresses could not be wrapped and the attachment window,
seemed to have a minimum size, the scrollbars for mail-preview and mail-list
disappeared. Now with 1.2b the layout is adepted in that the mail-folder pane is
resized (made smaller, so that the scrollbars do not disappear anymore) and also
the mail-preview and thread-pane are redrawn.

As mail-news on HP-UX is slow as hell allready, due to the layout changes
changing from a mail without attachment to a mail with attachment (and vice
versa) delays working for about 1-3 seconds

Running now mozilla 1.2.1 on HP-UX 10.20 layout problems are still there.

When selecting a mail with attachment, the width of the tree-view is changed
repeatedly (up to 5 times) until I final width is chosen.

It would be much better to narrow the attachment box, then change the window
layout of the tree-view.

This is a definite blocker for us to continue transition to mozilla mail, as a
3-6 second delay for viewing a mail preview (and blocking the rest of mail-news)
is not acceptable for us.

Several issues here. The scrollbar problem is fixed. Other issues are dealt with
in bug 112162, bug 80220 and possibly bug 74697.

The "flicker" or undecided pane size when a combination of long To: field and
attachments are present is bug 188138 - still open. Resolving as dup of that one.
