51360 - Addressing field only shows 1 addressee

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(MailNews Core :: Composition, defect, P2)

Description

[esther]

Using builds 2000-09-05 on win98, mac and linux when you add a 2nd addressee the 
first one disappears from the addressing field.  It's really there, but the 
fields scroll up so they are out of site.  Regression.

1. Launch Mail
2. Compose a new message and add a recipient to the To: field
3. Press the Enter key

Result: the first name is no longer displayed in the addressing pane.
Expected: to see the 1st 3 names added to the addressing pane before it scrolls 
up.

This affects mostly the Modern theme. it's a side effect of improvement ben did 
for the classic skin this weekend. Now the formatting toolbar (From, addresses, 
subject) is vertically resizable. In the modern theme, we have now only 2 rows 
visible by default. In fact we have two problems here:

1) The default height of the addressing widget in Modern should be increase to 
accommodate at least 3 rows. (only for modern theme)

2) We should not use the function  "EnsureElementIsVisible" but use the new 
available functions to manage correctly the position of the current edited 
address. What are those function already?. (all theme)

Also, for some reason, the tree doesn't show the scroll bar the first time 
(after entering the first address). Therefore no way to scroll back to see the 
first field!

:-/

while fixing this problem, I discovered a regression with the scrollbar. You 
cannot use the scrollbar's arrows to scroll into the tree, you must use the 
thumb. See bug 52323
