Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

When I maximize my Mozilla Window, it doesn't take into account the height of
the bar on the bottom of Windows, so I can't see the mail launcher, chatzilla,
and the rest of the status things that are usually on the bottom.  When I do a
restore, those items are there, and when I reduce the size of the Windows Start
bar to 0, it will allow me to see them.  I think it is a bug in how you are
determining how much vertical real estate you have to work with.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Launch Mozilla
2.  Hit the Maximize box on the top right.
Actual Results:  
The window was maximized with the window's lower edge below the program bar in
Windows.

Expected Results:  
Mozilla should have detected the height of the program bar, and then adapted to
the size of the screen that was available and used that for it's display.


I'm using the Modern Theme.

I attempted this with the Classic Theme, and I get the same results.  This is
not applicable here, but the same thing happens with Mozilla Thunderbird 0.1a
