1855864 - can't view all existing words in personal dictionary to remove a word or see if it has been added already

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1856152

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect, P2)

Description

Attachment: edit user dictionary problem in Tbird rev 115.pdf

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/118.0

Steps to reproduce:

1. In Thunderbird, select Write (new message)
2. blank email opens
3. select Options/check spelling...
4. In 'check spelling' dialog box, at Personal dictionary, select 'edit' button

Actual results:

• list of added words appears on left
• after selecting word with cursor cannot scroll up and down but can use up and down arrow to move cursor
• word list does not move
• selected word is invisible if the word cursor is off the page
• sometimes the word list view opens too far down, so the ADD/REMOVE word options are not visible, the close 'x' is not visible, the search list cannot be closed, and the page cannot be exited
• result is that correct word may not be able to be removed or may not be able to see if a word to be added is already in the personal dictionary

Expected results:

• list of added words appears
• top of edit area is always visible so can always see ADD/REMOVE of a word and can make a normal exit via the close 'x' independent of where cursor is
• cursor can scroll up and down and word list moves with the cursor so the highlighted word is always visible

Confirmed, another victim of the flexbox regression.
