As this might be acceptable, the activating area for the descriptive text extends to the end of the "Server Settings" box, thus causing unwanted changes in the settings if accidental clicking in no mans land occurs. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Right click on mail account and select "properties" 2. Select "Server Settings" 3. Click in the blank area behind "Use secure connection (SSL)", "Use secure authentication" or "Check for new messages at startup" Actual Results: The checkboxes change state Expected Results: The checkboxes not to change state, unless checkbox itself or actual text is clicked. The correct behaviour is implemented for "Automatically download new messages" and "Leave messages on server"
Couldn't find a dupe. Can reproduce this with Thunderbird nightly 20040515 on Win2k.

Attached patch Fix (obsolete) — Splinter Review
Adding align="start" to the vbox that surrounds these checkboxes fixes the bug.
Actually this problem exists in some more places. The attached patch fixes all of them in MailNews. I'd file follow-up bugs about the problem in other parts of Mozilla/FF/TB, if this is the right fix. A way to fix this globally in one central place would certainly be better, but I couldn't find one.

Comment on attachment 149157 [details] [diff] [review] Fixes all occurrences of this problem in MailNews Radiobuttons have it easy - radiogroups have the global -moz-box-align: start; style in xul.css but I can't see a better way to fix checkboxes.
