1839687 - Title bar buttons on macOS are moved out of window by long subject lines in new message window

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Thunderbird :: OS Integration, defect)

Description

[Gleb Ebert]

Attachment: thunderbird_subject-title-bar.png

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.15; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/115.0

Steps to reproduce:

1. Be on Thunderbird 115.0b3 (64-bit) on macOS
2. Reply to an email with a long subject line or open a new message window and type one yourself

Actual results:

The long subject in the title bar pushes the title bar buttons (close/minimize/expand window) out of the left side of the window. This happens both with reasonable window widths and unreasonable subject lenghts and short subjects and very narrow windows. You can either type in the subject field or resize the window to trigger the bug.

Expected results:

The subject line that is shown in the window title bar should be truncated before it becomes to long and pushes the buttons out of the window

Did it work better in 102?
