244599 - The default opening size of the new message window is too small to allow the entire message textarea to be displayed

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

Description

[jan klopper]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040207 Firefox/0.8
Build Identifier: Thunderbird version  0.6(20040502)

The default opening size of the new message window is to small to allow the
entire message textarea to be displayed, the message textarea is larger than the
window, and falls of the bottom, the status bar for the window is not visible as
it is displayed below the message textarea en thus also not in the window.

Making the window larger fixes the problem, but when i resize it to a smaller
size again the problem will be visible again.

Probably has something to do with a minimum size of the textarea.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click on write.
2. Resize the new window to a smaller size so that the message textarea becomes
to large and pushes the status bar out of the window
Actual Results:  
The status bar falls of the window, and possibly the lower lines of the message
textarea. which makes typing emails very unhandy.

Expected Results:  
Resize the message textarea to a smaller size (to a minimum of one line i guess)
so that everything fits in the window.
Maybe even specify a minimum height for the window.
