269246 - Messages with attachments with really long filenames screw up display

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Neil Turner]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: version 0.9 (20041103)

I got an email with an attachment called 'COLEGIO - MATRICULAS ABERTAS [lots of
spaces] 3m6 bshomxz hiy v.eml'. The length of the filename meant that
Thunderbird appeared to enlarge the display area sideways to fit the full
filename in, however the window was already maximised and this caused the right
edge of the area to disappear off the right edge of the screen. Restoring and
maximising again didn't fix the bug.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Receive email with an attachment with a very long name
2. Open email in preview pane
Actual Results:  
Display area expands so that right edge disappears off the screen.

Expected Results:  
Truncated the attachment name so that it would fit.

Confirming bug on Thunderbird 0.9 .

Comment 3

Attachment: Content/text pane also affected.

As you can see on this screenshot, the content/text pane is also affected by
the bug. Thunderbird doesn't wrap the text correctly, it flows off the edge of
the window.

I'm sure there are existing bugs on this.

Seems related to bug 35229 , bug 237805 and their dupes.

Sorry about the bugspam...

That second one should be bug 237085

This is the same basic problem as Seamonkey bug 247833.

I can't reproduce with latest trunk on WinXP:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1b5pre) Gecko/20090509 Shredder/3.0b3pre ID:20090509031542

Resolving WFM, since I don't know which bug actually fixed this.
