251325 - Special NL character printed over column header

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 64948

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[Boris Folgmann]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; de-AT; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040708 MultiZilla/1.6.4.0b
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; de-AT; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040708 MultiZilla/1.6.4.0b

I received an email from a user of Novell GroupWise Internet Agent 6.0.5 Beta.
The subject of this mail contains a newline character which is printed with a
special NL character, at least with the Luxi Sans font I use on Linux.

There may be other problems with subjects including linefeeds, e.g. is it
RFC-compliant to have newlines in MIME messages? Since mozilla can construct
them too it's not a GroupWise-specific problem.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Construct an email with a newline in the subject. Do it like this: compose a
new email and paste at least two (arbitrary) copied lines into the subject widget.



Actual Results:  
See attached screenshot.
The "N" stays in the subject column header when I scroll down in the listbox. It
vanishes when I choose an other folder or an other window (X11 expose event
redraws the column header).

Expected Results:  
Do not print outside the line in the mail listbox. This may be a problem of the
font, but mozilla or xorg-x11-6.7.0-5 may be wrong two.



I use mozilla-1.7-0.3.2 on FC2 with the modern theme.
