Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 63941

(Thunderbird :: Address Book, defect)

Description

[Jo Schaper]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.8.0.9) Gecko/20061206 Firefox/1.5.0.9
Build Identifier: 1.5.0.9 (20061207)

Just went to add an address to address book in 800x600 screen,  Version 1.5.0.9 (20061207) and cannot do so using standard English small font size. I cannot use 1024x768 due to vision problems. Set 1024x768 to Large Fonts, and could get to the OK button. Many of the empty boxes in Address book are superfluous for an average user. If you could remove some of them, the OK button would be usable under 800x600. Now am gong to have to go back and reset screen res. What a pain! 
Problem will exacerbate as population gets older.

This only showed up in this last update. Program set to auto update. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Thunderbird Address book
2. Open New Card
3.  Try to find the OK button. Window doesn't resize. Cannot scroll down enough on 15" monitor to get to OK button.
Actual Results:  
Couldn't save my new entry until I switched to 1024x768 screen res with large fonts, which I can barely see. (am 50, have bifocals, but am not any more visually impaired than most 50 somethings with glasses) Have to switch computer back to 
800x600 to use it otherwise.
