321695 - Account Settings - Server Settings not fully visible for POP account

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 317659

(Thunderbird :: Account Manager, defect)

Description

[u63580]

Thunderbird version 1.5 (20051201) - RC2 en-GB

As is shown in attached screen-shot, part of the dialog box is not visible for "Server Settings" in the acount manager.  This only happens for POP accounts - IMAP is fine.  This really doesn't look very good - blocking release?

I can't believe no-one else has seen this, but can't find it anywhere.  Sorry if it's a dupe.

Confirmed : Amoun : I'm using WinXP SP2
In classic theme I can only see the top two pixels of 'Local Directory' 
In XP deafult theme I can see the top half of the words

TB 1.5 UK : : Maybe it doesn't happen in the US version??

I see the problem in both the UK release and nightlies (i.e. US), so I assume it is an underlying problem.  As this is reproducable, confirming.

Current nightlies (version 1.6a1 (20060206)) seem to have this sorted.  WFM?

This is probably deserving of a new report, but more recent nightlies - first noticed with (version 1.6a1 (20060302)) - do not show server settings or any other subordinate pages under the main account settings page at all for POP servers.

I can confirm it, using Thunderbird 1507 en, BUT: the problem arises only using Thunderbird thru MS Terminal Services, thus running it on a remote host, and logging in thru a TS window. Using a local installation, all is well. (tried it with brand new remote host PC as well. All have WinXP sp2 en, classic MS Window desktop.

Attachment: Account Settings window too narrow

Maybe have a way to change this userChrome.css, like Options window can :

prefwindow:not([id="JavascriptOptions"]) {
  min-height: 400px !important;
  min-width: 600px !important;
} 

just an idea...

Chris: for me it helped to install the nightly build from 20060923. Well it took me a while to find this. As far as I remember, this build is not the published one, but I'm not sure.

Anyway, hope it helps. freddy

please comment in bug 317659 whether you see this in version 2.  I you don't or do see it, then I'll confirm the bug if needed.
