206686 - Long value in the To field in the message pane enfoced a large minimum width on that pane

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[Mark Patterson]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030520
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030520

I sent a message with a long To line 
(confirm_4_a32e5941978c1a[e-mail])

Whenever that message was selected in the top right pane (grid of message
details),  the right 2 panes are expanded, and refuse to be shrunk. This had the
effect that I couldn't see much of what was in the left hand pane, the mail
boxes. I moved the message to a folder other than Sent, and it still happened.
When I reduced the header part of message to one line with the little triangle,
thus hiding the To line, things were back to normal - the message panes
automatically resumes their normal size, and allowed me to shrink them to a
sensible minimum.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Send a message with a long To value
2. Select that message in the message list pane
3. Try to shrink the right-hand side message panes with the slider

Actual Results:  
Couldn't shrink the message panes

Expected Results:  
The message panes should have been able to be shrunk.

Hi, I also see Problems with
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; de-AT; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030507
but I am not sure whether I understand clearly what your special problem is.

I created a message with your "to-address", some subject, some text and an
attachment.
I stored it as a draft and looked to my drafts-folder.

My problems:
When I select the message in the thread-pane, the account-overview-pane at the
left disappears more or less, and I can't resize it.

Additionally, I can not see the attachment-pane nearby the button "Entwurf
bearbeiten"

I think that this might be a DUP of bug 91662, pls. see
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=107665&action=view
Can anyone verify this suspect?

MASS-CHANGE:
This bug report is registered in the SeaMonkey product, but has been without a comment since the inception of the SeaMonkey project. This means that it was logged against the old Mozilla suite and we cannot determine that it's still valid for the current SeaMonkey suite. Because of this, we are setting it to an UNCONFIRMED state.

If you can confirm that this report still applies to current SeaMonkey 2.x nightly builds, please set it back to the NEW state along with a comment on how you reproduced it on what Build ID, or if it's an enhancement request, why it's still worth implementing and in what way.
If you can confirm that the report doesn't apply to current SeaMonkey 2.x nightly builds, please set it to the appropriate RESOLVED state (WORKSFORME, INVALID, WONTFIX, or similar).
If no action happens within the next few months, we move this bug report to an EXPIRED state.
