1958478 - OpenPGP Key Import Info Dialog Multiple UI Issues

Status: ASSIGNED

(MailNews Core :: Security: OpenPGP, enhancement)

Description

[Til Mohr]

Steps to reproduce:

Tools > OpenPGP Key Manager > File > Import Public Key(s) From File > Select some file (best, if it contains a lot of keys) > Accept & Import
Then the key import info dialog will open up.

Actual results:

Issues:

• Window is huge, and crashes Thunderbird on larger screens (common ultra wide monitors). We have heard multiple complaints from Windows and Linux/Wayland users. Also see this related issue: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1917284
• Window does not fit the screen, and thus ok button is not shown. Also see this related issue: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1832369
• List of keys is not scrollable + the "OK" button is shown at the bottom of the list -> "OK" button not on-screen
• Very long identities cause all keyboxes to be massive
• 3 column layout is clipped. Also see this related issue: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1904883

Also see attached images (small import = 6 keys, large import = 301 keys) - full window captures, default window size (no manual resizing).

Expected results:

• The dialog does not crash Thunderbird
• The dialog fits within the screen
• The list of keys within the dialog is scrollable
• Each keybox can be viewed in its entirety
  ** Truncate long identities (details can be viewed anyways by clicking "View Details and manage key acceptance")
• The "OK" button is always shown (on-screen), regardless of how many keys are being imported

What is blocking this?

Our simple fixes resolve issues that hundreds of employees in our company alone are facing on a regular basis. All that needs to be done is merge.

This works well for the import of 1, 2, 3 or more/many keys:

The patch from Betterbird looks good to us, we see all issues as resolved.
I will submit the Betterbird patch here with Thunderbird.

Thank you @Betterbird-Devs for taking your time to fix this :)
