1. Launch Messenger using -mail option
2. From the IMAP or POP account, select a message
3. Click on Reply, observe the Compose window
Actual result: The Addressing field does not show addressee automatically, I
have to click on it to force it to display
Expected result: I should not have to click on it. 

This happens on Linux only, plain text and HTML editor both.

Note to QA when verifying to check the switching of From/identity in compose
when there is one of the accounts having a reply-to specified. (see bug #35746)

This isn't just the address box today, if you obscure half the window, it can
fail to repaint after you uncover it.

Ok, I have a feeling this might be fixed now, but accepting.

This seems fine in the latest N6 verification build. resolving as wfm

Comment 8

[laurel]

In today's commercial build (linux and NT) there's a blocker bug where we don't
get reply filled in at all -- often freezes.  So I can't concur with this
worksforme until reply works.  (see bug 50910)
