1858114 - Right half of RSS entry contents invisible due to long attachment filename

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Thunderbird :: Message Reader UI, defect)

Description

[Tom Adler]

Attachment: Bildschirmfoto vom 2023-10-10 13-10-24.png

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/118.0

Steps to reproduce:

1. Configured Thunderbird to use three-pane-view
2. Subscribed to https://meduza.io/rss/all

Actual results:

The long attachment name makes the entry container much wider than the Thunderbird window, so the right half of the text is invisible, overflowing the window.

Expected results:

The text should remain readable. The attachment controls should remain visible.

A very similar bug was discussed in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1827882. It was closed because the screenshot I attached was for the smaller screen size, and now I cannot comment there to attach the 1920x1080 screenshot.

When I set width: 100% on #messagepanebox the entry contents stops being truncated on the right. I could not find a proper way to fix the attachment controls.

Since some of the entries in the provided RSS feed have shorter attachment names, I’ve prepared the excerpt of the feed showcasing the issue: https://arty.name/bugzilla-1858114.xml

There's some funky flex stuff going on there, but I think I found the clean up.

Just missed the last beta uplifts, so this will be in beta 120.
This wanted for 115 after beta?
