445398 - can't see all of window

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 63941

(Thunderbird :: Address Book, defect)

Description

[Jonathan Lockhart]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows 98)
Build Identifier: new beta

inability to input data into the address book due to page displaying incorrectly.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.installed thunderbird on a windows 98se computer
2.no add-ons
3.set screen resolution to 800x600
Actual Results:  
Cannot see all of the window which allows adding of new contact to address book. Other windows have also been a problem within Thunderbird.  When I try to change screen resolution or hide the toolbar so that I can see the bottom of the window it just chops it off permanently.

Expected Results:  
Window should reveal all buttons so that I can save the new input into the address book.  Maybe the addition of a scroll bar which IS in outlook might help.

I have noticed the problem before in web navigation and I think it has to do with changes in script over the years.  I do hope it is fixable though seeing as how changing operating systems for me means changing computers which will also mean that I won't need to learn Thunderbird because Windows Live Mail would suffice even better if I had XP.

I am a recent convert to Firefox and am willing to give Thunderbird a try but what I depend on with Mozilla products is its flexability and customizability which helps free me from keeping up with the Big Bad Microsoft.  Thank You!
