User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20050906 Firefox/1.6a1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050917 Thunderbird/1.4 ID:2005091708, Lightning XPI 17-Sep-2005

When I try to enlarge Thunderbird's folder pane vertically, the space occupied
by Lightning will shrink but the content of the folder pane is not affected -
i.e. only the underlying grey widget will grow bigger.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. move the separator between the folders and Lightning downwards
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Lightning items get smaller,
the grey widget of the folder pane gets bigger,
the widget with the folders does not get bigger.

Expected Results:  
The widget with the folders should grow according to it's parent widget.

The JS console says: Error: [Exception... "'no parent for row 4?' when calling
method: [nsITreeView::getParentIndex]"  nsresult: "0x8057001e
(NS_ERROR_XPC_JS_THREW_STRING)"  location: "<unknown>"  data: no]

When Lightning is reduced to about 1/3 of the pane height and the separator is
released and then moved again, the folder pane can be made bigger. However, the
directions are reversed, i.e. the separator must be moved upward to enlarge the
folder pane and vice versa.
After some playing it now works properly with a lot of the error messages quoted
above but different rows without parents.

The effects appear to be purely random - you'll have to play around...

The error messages referenced above were fixed in bug 309462, but I'm still
seeing this even with that patch.

commandsets and popups don't belong as children of a vbox, they should be
overlayed directly into the window.
