1940201 - When displaying a message with a long sbject, the subject obscures macOS window control buttons.

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Thunderbird :: Theme, defect)

Description

[Charlie]

Attachment: Message with dots cut off

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.15; rv:133.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/133.0

Steps to reproduce:

Create a message with a long subject line and send it to yourself.
Receive the message in MacOS and open it. The subject line is centered at the very top of the window.
Shrink the width of the message window until the subject does not all fit in at the top of the window.

Actual results:

The buttons at the top left of the window (red to close, orange to minimize, green to fill the screen) disappear. They have been pushed out by the subject.

Expected results:

The 3 buttons should remain in position, and the subject should be centered in the remaining space, and cut off if there is not enough space. I shouldn't lose the ability to click the red dot just because the subject was too wordy.
