242063 - The To field does not show all addresses if it contains many adresses

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 223132

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Kristoffer Holmén]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20030306 Camino/0.7
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20030306 Camino/0.7

When a home page that is bigger than the window is shown in a web-browser you
get a list to the right were you can scroll the page to see the parts outside
the window. If my to-field in Thunderbird contains many adresses and I unfold it
the to field becomes bigger than the window (at least on small screens, for
example laptops). The problem is that I can't scroll the to field and therefore
can't see all of the adresses or the message.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Look at a message with many reciepients in a small window
2.Unfold the the to-field
3.Try to see all the adresses/reciepients and/or the message.

Actual Results:  
I can't see all the adresses/reciepients or the message. I can reach the message
if I unfold the to-field.

Expected Results:  
The should be some way of scrolling down to the last adresses/reciepients and
the message.

Comment 1

[Greg K.]

I think Kristoffer is referring to the problem where the Addresses pane doesn’t
update on scroll until mouseUp.

Comment 2

[Mike Cowperthwaite]

I disagree with comment 1; this is the well-known and oft-reported problem of 
what happens when the envelope panel is taller than the message pane (or window) 
it's contained in.

See the CSS tweak in bug 240313.  Works OK in TB as well as Moz, but it's not 
perfect.
