Windows 10
Thunderbird 102.10.1
In Address Book
Click on 'New Contact'
What occurred:
A small area appears at the bottom of window below previously added contacts.
Fields are obscured.
Cannot drag top splitter upwards.
Visibility of input fields involves alot of unnecessary scrolling.
Expected:
A large area to open - aligned to the complete height of window on the right side.
All or majority of input fields to be immediately visible.
This effects both 'Vertical' and 'Horizontal' options.
As everything is greyed and disabled, why is the required New Contact entry fields not utilizing the entire space?
Request urgent major overhall in design to display the 'New Contact' entry fields fully.
Current Workaround:
In Address Book
- Select an address book
- Select a contact in the list
- Drag the splitter up to the highest point it will go
- Click on 'New Contact'
Result:
The 'New Contact' area is now increased and about half of the input fields are visible.
This workaround is required for both horizontal and vertical views (but see 'Alternative option' below)
Note the image above is showing 'Vertical Layout' used as an example of what is seen when using Horizontal or Vertical.
A better visibity, but this view should be automatic when I click on 'New Contact' and not require me actually creating the space in the first place.
Alternative option
- Make sure to select 'switch to vertical layout'
- Click on 'New Contact'
- Make the window much wider and the add contact area will suddenly appear on the right side using full height.
This alternative option to first change the layout to vertical and then the width of window to force the right side display just to see the New Contact as a better visibility is equally a pain and more so if you prefer using horizontal layout.
Whilst discussing visibility of fields - please improve the 'add image' option which is completely invisible. The Three dot icon should be permanently visible or remove the dots and replace with the words 'Add/Edit Image'
