Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Thunderbird :: Preferences, defect)

Description

[Lloyd Hayes]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i586; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050323 Firefox/1.0.2 Fedora/1.0.2-1.3.1

The options windows do not re-size properly for the 800x600 laptop screen. Most
of them can be re-sized without a serious problem allowing for me to scroll to
various areas. But when I tried to re-size the Junk Controls window, it cuts off
part of the controls at the bottom without the option of scrolling to the hidden
controls. Chicking on the Full-Screen Optioon does not help.

I have Thunderbird on another laptop with a larger screen resolution. It does
not have this problem. Both computers are running FC3, and have the same memory.
The differences between the 2 computers is age (One is 3 years old and the other
is 7 years old), speed (233 MHz vs 1,700 MHz), and screen resolution.

There is simply no way to get at the controls at the bottom of the Junk Controls
page on a 800x600 screen.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Click on Tools
2. Click on Junk Mail Controls...
3. Upper two-thirds of page shows with no way of getting to the bottom.
4. Re-sizing the page is of no help. It simply cuts of what it does not see.

Actual Results:  
Un-able to affect Junk Controls.

Expected Results:  
At the very least, I should have been able to scroll to the areas that I needed
to get at.
