Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 223340

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[Andrei Boros]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4

Displaying a message with attached files shows the list of attachements at the bottom of the window. 

If there are many files attached, the size of this area increases proportionally, but no scroll appears. I have encountered messages with many attachements (like 20 or so) where on 800x600 I barely had a few lines visible from the message text.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.have a message with many attachements
2.open it in the default window configuration (folders on left, message list on top-right, message text on bottom-right)
3.

Actual Results:  
If many attachements, attachement list can occupy a major portion of the window, leaving very little space for reading the message

Expected Results:  
attachement list should show at most 2 lines and scroll controls if more.

I have filmed a short clip showing the multiple resizing operations that happen when I display a message. 

Most evident while opening spam, postmaster errors, message forwarded multiple times, etc
