Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Calendar :: Lightning Only, defect)

Description

[Pete Riley]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.7) Gecko/20070914 Firefox/2.0.0.7
Build Identifier: Lightning 0.8pre 2007-11-24-06 / Thunderbird 2.0.0.6

Task Mode's splitter (between the list of tasks and the description pane) badly affects Thunderbird's splitter (between the message list and the message pane).

The higher the splitter is in Task Mode, the lower the splitter becomes in Thunderbird.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1) In Task Mode, raise the splitter toward the top (but not all the way).
2) Switch to Mail Mode.
Actual Results:  
Thunderbird's splitter is now near the bottom of the screen.

Expected Results:  
Thunderbird's splitter should be 100% independent of Task Mode's.

Confirmed with Lightning 0.8pre 20071124 on Thunderbird 2.0.0.10pre (Win XP).

Interesting:
If you drag the splitter too much to the top in task mode, you can't drag the splitter in mail mode any longer.

I think this should be fixed for 0.8 to not scare off task mode users.

[Martin Schröder [:mschroeder]]

Three duplicates should justify that this bug blocks 0.8 -> requesting blocking-calendar0.8
