... Which makes the last text line unreadable. (before scrolling the panel)

Was fine.

(W98SE)

Bug already there.
I guess it regressed when the "Global Inbox" part was added...

This patch:
* Removes two separators so wizard page does not have to scroll

Probably still hit this issue with non-standard DPIs.

Do we really need this patch?
I can see the problem on Win2k with 1.8b1, but not with a 20050717
SeaMonkey/1.0a trunk build. The nightly wizard dialog is slightly wider and taller.

Serge, is this still a problem on trunk?

Now, I would think not: (maybe another one, or not at all ??)

It's profile related:
New profile: no bug
"v1.7a" profile: no bug
"v1.3" profile: bug, the wizard dialog displays shorter. (I did not check width)

Should SeaMonkey be able to fix my profile automatically ?
(I wonder why/how this (unresizable) dialog sizes depend on profile data :-/)
Otherwise, how could I "manually" fix my profile ?

Good question.

Usually, such data is stored in the localstore.rdf, but the wizard doesn't store
stuff there - do you have entries for AccountWizard.xul in your 1.3 localstore.rdf?

> Otherwise, how could I "manually" fix my profile ?

Some CSS like 
  #AccountWizard
  {
    height: 40em ! important;
    width:  42em ! important;
  }
in your userChrome.css should do the trick.

As a user, this feature (removing "obsolete" entries) would be welcomed.

(My rarely used v1.7 profile localstore.rdf is 18 KB, the file in my personal
v1.3 profile is 118 KB...)

Yes, we have the culprit:
{{
  <RDF:Description
RDF:about="chrome://messenger/content/AccountWizard.xul#AccountWizard"
                   width="500"
                   height="380" />

  <RDF:Description RDF:about="chrome://messenger/content/AccountWizard.xul">
    <NC:persist
RDF:resource="chrome://messenger/content/AccountWizard.xul#AccountWizard"/>
  </RDF:Description>
}}

> > Otherwise, how could I "manually" fix my profile ?

Removing the preceding lines from localstore.rdf fixed the display :-)
