Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 188138

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

Some mail messages, which seem to have extermely long recepient names, cause,
when they are selected for viewing, the MailNews window to 'convulse' -
different columns are resized back and forth for a second or two, then the sizes
settle on an inconvenient configuration. The scrollbar is also gone at this
point. If another, 'normal', message is selected the window returns to its
normal state. I can't capture the dynamic changes...

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Not yet sure what is the exact cause. Try sending yourself messages with really
long names before the address.
