1848261 - Event dialog with many invitees expands beyond screen height

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Calendar :: Dialogs, defect)

Description

[S.Brooks]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/116.0

Steps to reproduce:

Open an event to which many people are included as invitees.

Actual results:

The event dialog open and expands to show all the invitees with the top of the dialog overflowing the top of the screen and the bottom of the dialog overflowing the bottom (or at minimum is tucked in behind the windows taskbar on windows 10).

The right side scroll bar is not showing suggesting the window has opened at a height to fit all the invitees into the box.

The dialog close button is therefore not available.

If you then grab the side of the dialog and expand it by mouse the dialog will redraw with the top heading aligned to fit on the screen and the description disappearing off the bottom of the screen.

Expected results:

The event dialog should fit entirely on the screen with a scroll bar on the right of the invitees box.

Thunderbird 115.1.0 (problem replicates in troubleshoot mode with add-ons disabled)
