232945 - Bad window geometry for long addresses

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 188138

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[Hadmut Danisch]

User-Agent:       
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040122 Debian/1.6-1

If you receive a message with a very long e-mail address in 
the To-field (some people love to use very long descriptions in the 
name field of the e-mail), and you klick on the message, the message subwindow
enlarges so much and makes the folder tree on the left side shrink so much that
it becomes unusable. It's annyoing to see the message box resize every time when 
stepping through the inbox.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Send yourself a message and use a _long_ description in the recipient address,
like  To: Blabla...blabla <youraddress>
2. Open the mail window for your inbox
3. Click on the message and see how the geometry of the message window and the
   folder tree change

Actual Results:  
Windows resized, folder tree became unusable

Expected Results:  
The geometry of the three subwindows (inbox, message, folder tree) should 
not change with the message, but remain as the user has chosen with the mouse.
If the adress fields are too long, use line wrapping, smaller font, cut
the description or something like that.
