183701 - Clicking on twisty (expanding headers) when headers are larger then window, then closing, does not rerender message body in preview pane

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 167468

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[James M Mastros]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130

Minor display bug -- the body isn't redrawn in some somwhat unlikely circumstances.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open mailnews
2. Move the splitter so that the prevew window is fairly small
3. Click the twisty to the left of the header line.  (View all headers.)
4. Click the twisty again. (Don't view headers.)


Actual Results:  
The headers which were just hidden are still visible, and the text is not.

Expected Results:  
Redrawn the message body

I'm using the default theme, and though I'm using XP, it's theming is disabled.
 This happens only with the preview page, not with a message display, even if
the window is approprately small.  Strangely, I can't seem to get HTML mail to
display (I don't really care, and that's not what this bug is about), so I
havn't tested with it.
Workarounds:
1) Don't do that -- if the window is that small, viewing the headers isn't
useful anyway.
2) Select the text.  (Though it isn't visable, it selects just fine.)
3) Move to a different message, then back.

I'll post an image in a minute.

Duping of bug 106678 which was duped to bug 56825.

This isn't a dupe of bug 106678/56825.  106678/56825 is about a proposed feature
enhancement to be able to scroll the headers.  This doesn't request a feature
enhancement, it only requests that the existing behavor be made to work
correctly (such as it is), IE redraw the message body when it becomes visable
again.  Please, look at the sample screenshot on this bug, and all will be made
clear.  (BTW, the sample screenshot is after selecting the invisable text; it
makes it more clear what's actualy going on.)

Sorry.  Duped based on a truncated version of the summary.   
I do see the behavior you describe, using build 2002120504 win32.

Confirming.

I see this problem too, running milestone 1.2.1 win32 on Windows XP.  Only
happens if the expanded headers are larger than the current message pane.  The
message pane will resize itself to accommodate the headers, but when the headers
are collapsed again the message pane only goes back to its original size.  The
headers are still displayed, without the expected redraw of the message body.

Still present in 1.3b on WinXP.

Suggested summary revision: adding words "To:" and "CC:" would make it easier to
find this bug.
