Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

Description

[junks]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9.0.3) Gecko/2008092414 Firefox/3.0.3
Build Identifier: version 2.0.0.17 (20080914)

It is hard to explain, which is why I included the URL above that describes the problem in detail and also provides screen shots of the issue. (Ignore the icon discussion and look for screen shots.) Basically, when I open Thunderbird and click "Write", then click "Contacts" the "Contacts" sidebar pops out, but does not fully expand (see long images in URL). After I pull the sidebar out, it will stay where I left it, but only until I quit Thunderbird, which then reverts the changes made. The problem is also apparent when going to "Tools | Account Settings | Composition & Addresses" and then looking at the pull down menu bar for "and place my signature [menu bar]" that has a noticeable cut off right after the up and down arrows for the pull down menu. As I said, please view the screen shots available at the URL to see images the issue.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. MacBook Intel Core 2 Duo running Leopard
2. Open Thunderbird, click "Write", click "Contacts" for pop out menu
3. Notice how the pop out cuts off the "Add to CC" field at the bottom of the sidebar, as well as the icon next to "Name" that allows one to display "Name" and "Email"
4. Same problem in "Composition & Addresses" in the Account Settings menu (see details above)
Actual Results:  
It still cuts off a fraction of the field that should be displayed.

Expected Results:  
Show the "Contacts" sidebar completely, as well as the pull down menu bar for "Composition & Addresses" in the Account Settings menu.

Please see images in provided URL.

Also, no extensions or themes are installed on Thunderbird.

junks, I can't see your images well in the forum links. Can you attempt to reproduce using latest beta?  And if you still see it, please attach to this bug a side-by-side image composition showing the issue.

beta at http://www.mozillamessaging.com/en-US/thunderbird/early_releases/

or perhaps ludo can confirm
