483786 - Thunderbird has an extra unusable area after resizing it through remote desktop connection

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[andrea.nemeth]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; hu; rv:1.9.0.7) Gecko/2009021910 Firefox/3.0.7
Build Identifier: Thunderbird version 2.0.0.19 (20081209)

I regurally log in into my workstation from home by using remote desktop connection. In most cases the already opened Thunderbird gets resized so, that in the lower part of it an unusable grey sector appears. This sector is approximatly has the height of the half windows panel, so reading my mails gets very unconfortable, as only a few lines remain visible.
The grey sector does not disappear, when the window is maximized, resized, etc...
The resize-marker, which is usually in the right-bottom corner appears over the grey area.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Thunderbird on your machine
2. Try to log in to that machine via remote desktop  connection. (My remote desktop connection is used as full screen, maybe with other screen resolution, it depends on the computer, but sometimes it was reproducible with the same resolution also)
3. Select Thunderbird as active task. And debug the grey sector :-)
Actual Results:  
The Thunderbird is usable only in the upper half of its window.
And what is more annoying, when I close the Thunderbird (to restart in order to fix the grey sector problem), I cannot start it again remotely.
If I go back to my machine and restart the Thunderbird, it works fine again.

Expected Results:  
The Thunderbird should be using its whole window area.

I can send you a screenshot, if required.

Sounds like this might be bug 206435.

Andrea do you agree? It's a dupe of bug #206435?
