20244 - [Dogfood]Pref Dialog too small for some pref panels

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: Preferences, defect, P3)

Description

[hangas]

The Preferences Dialog is too small for some pref panels.  Some of the Mail/News
panels do not fit in the pref dialog.  We need to support an iframe for the
panels that is is set to some number of 'em' units that allows for the size of
the panels that we were using in 4.x.  It is resonable to say that we cannot make
the panels larger (in content) than the 4.x versions, but currently we cannot
even make them as large as they used to be.  It looks like we may be using a
larger font in 5.0, but that should mean that we increase the size given to these
panels.

Marking as dogfood because I am getting complaints about the usability of the
Mail prefs.

Putting on PDT+ radar.

with hangas' help, this is now fixed.

now, the size of the pref window is set in pref.xul

before, the size was set from C++ in nsPrefWindow.cpp

the size was 436 x 504 (h x w) and now its 436 x 600

marking fixed.

All of the Mail and Newsgroups panels look fine under Linux. Marking verified,
