User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:103.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/103.0

Steps to reproduce:

1. Modify an existing contact with at least 5 attributes and no note
2. Click on "add a note"
3. Start typing in the text box

Actual results:

The screen of the Adress Book window goes up (not to much, the note text box is still visible). Only the half of the windows is visible / useful.

Expected results:

Edit the note without any movement of the screen :)

Thanks JoPat. However, this works for me on TB 102.5.0 (64-bit), Win10 (reported against Linux).

• Started out with a pretty prefilled contact without a note.
• Even tried to scroll away the focused notes field and then press Enter while the Add note link is completely or partially hidden, or with pre-filled notes (1 line).
• Thunderbird would just ensure that the entire notes field (couple of lines high) is visible, but no weird empty areas as in screenshot of attachment 9287890 [details].

Richard, are you seeing (on Linux) large empty areas as in screenshot above after adding a notes field whose link was a bit hidden at lower end?

JoPat, have you tried

• using original install from thunderbird.net?
• does problem occur with ≡ > Help > Troubleshoot Mode…?

If anyone can still reproduce this, please reopen this bug and provide details (OS/TB version, contact data etc).
