20695 - Scrollbars do not work properly in Mail/News

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 18739

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect, P3)

Description

[Marcelo Vanzin]

There are two problems with the scrollbars when using the Mail component of
Mozilla.

First, the thread pane: the scrollbar does not let me scroll to the bottom of
the message list (actually I can, but it is a tricky process that does not
always work). I have tested this both in Mail (IMAP) and News. Also, the
scrolling is terriby slow.

Now for the message pane, where the message actually is shown (when it is...),
there's a problem similar to the one you had in the sidebar some time ago:
nested scrollbars. If the message width is larger than the pane width, the pane
creates an horizontal scrollbar; but the message itself creates one also, and if
the message is longer than the pane, a vertical scrollbar is also created in the
message body. So, you have 3 scrollbars messing up the pane.

Scrolling to the bottom is covered in one of the tree widget bugs (20508, 12895,
18420, 18193, ...)
Scrolling performance is covered in bug 18739
Multiple scroll bars in the message pane is covered in bug 18492
