Status: UNCONFIRMED

Steps to reproduce:

When I edit an event or create a new one in the Calendar, the height of the Description field in the Event window is ridiculously small. It only displays a couple of lines of text whereas my descriptions are usually far longer than that.

So I always have to resize the window and TB doesn't "remember" my preferred window height, so I have to resize it every single time I create or edit an event.

Actual results:

See above.

Expected results:

The default height of the Event window should be the height of the viewport.

If the user adjusts the height (or width) of the Event window while creating or editing an event, Thunderbird should "remember" the height and width the user chose and the next time the user edits or creates an event, the width and height of the event window should be the same as the user set it at for the last event they edited.

As a workaround I had to install the userChromeJS extension, and create a javascript file in <profile folder>\chrome\userChrome.js, containing the following code (supplied to me in the following newsgroup thread: https://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?p=14985413)

(function () {
if (location == "chrome://calendar/content/calendar-event-dialog.xhtml") {
setTimeout(function () {
window.moveTo(100, 0);
window.resizeTo(1000, 700);
}, 1000);
}
})();

But it's insane that I should have to resort to programming in order to get TB to display Calendar event windows with a usable height.
