262875 - A Reply-To: with CC:'s causes additional vertical spacing in envelope panel (after the CC's)

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10.1

Sometimes extra space appears below the list of CC's. I believe that it's
related to whether or not the user has specified a Reply-To: address.

In one case, when the list of CC's is longer then the window has resizing
problems. I'll attach a screenshot.

Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Look at an message with CC's and note the space below.
2.Find another message where the sender set up a Reply-To address
3.Compare the space below

Actual Results:  
The space below the CC was larger than expected. After expanding the full list
it shrunk, then stayed the same following unexpanding the list.

Expected Results:  
The space below the CC's should stay the same.

I have the 'Quick Reply' extention added to Thunderbird and it may influence this.

Attachment: Shows the space below the CC's

Notice the three different views. The first is how the message shows up in my
mail box. The second is after I expand the list of CC's. The third is after I
un-expand the list.

Bug now irregularly appearing (not always) on the trunk version 1.6a1 (20060105)

I'm seeing this on Redhat WS3 and Thunderbird 1.5.  I don't remember seeing this in previous versions.  I haven't been able to confirm a previous comment about it being related to the Reply-To: address being present or not.

I think this bug has been cleaned up thanks to the work in bug 335973.  Can any reporter still reproduce this work with 2b1 or a current/recent trunk build?

Replying here as this may be a related regression:

I just updated to TB2b2, and the message I'd seen which was producing buggy behavior no longer does.  However, something new appears which didn't before: now when I look at the message, there is no plus sign next to the names, since all the names fit on one line.  Great.  BUT, if I switch folders, then switch back to the Inbox and look at the message again, there's a plus sign next to the names.  Clicking on it toggles it to a minus (and back again with another click), but doesn't change the display (since all names are shown already).  I can't seem to get the plus to go away altogether except by restarting TB.  

Additionally, this useless/spurious plus-minus control appears even on messages with one recipient, and one sender (even without a Reply-To: address, by way of comment #6 above).

Before I open a new bug that may be a dup, is anyone else seeing this behavior?

No need to open a new one, that's bug 348395.

Resolving this bug as WFM; please don't reopen unless you have a good test case that shows the problem in current branch & trunk builds.
