287091 - Deeply nested replies levels overlap

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

Description

[Will Budreau]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050225 Firefox/1.0.1
Build Identifier: version 1.0 (20041206)

Viewing a newsgroup with a message that has the characters denoting deeply
nested replied, the vertical bars used to denote reply depth overrun eachother.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Open the attached e-mail in outlook.


Expected Results:  
The rendering depth should be limited to at most the available view width.

The cause here is actually non-reply based: There is a string of angle brackets
in the e-mail
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
which causes thunderbird to report a nesting level for each arrow.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
