538645 - If resize main TB window, no horizontal scroll bar for email messages provided so you can scroll left or right to read entire message; in any pane including tab view.

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Peter]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.9.1.7) Gecko/20091221 Firefox/3.5.7 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)
Build Identifier: Thunderbird 3.0 (Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.9.1.5) Gecko/20091204 Thunderbird/3.0)

If I resize the main TB window, no horizontal scroll bar for email messages (any folder including sent and inbox) is provided so that I can scroll left or right to read the entire message. This happens in any view:

a) Reading the message on a new tab (tab view)
b) Reading the message in the 3 pane view

Text does wrap however properly, but a scroll bar does not appear which I am sure should do?

To read entire message you have to read it full screen or when the message is wrapped.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to any folder (including the sent / inbox folder)
2. Make the Thunderbird main window un-maximised
3. Use mouse to resize the main TB window so that you compress the sides (i.e. as if you were folding it in half)
Actual Results:  
You will notice the text wrap but no scroll bar will appear allowing you to read the entire message.

Expected Results:  
Created a horizontal scroll bar in which ever view (tabbed or 3 pane, but in the message pane) so that you can scroll left and right to read the entire message when in an un-maximised window mode.

Default Theme used. Windows XP Pro used with all updates installed. Set as default email client. Also use latest FireFox with addons (not those listed below) which is set as default browser.

Addons installed in Thunderbird 3.0:

1) British English Dictionary 1.19
2) Copy Plain Text 0.3.3
3) MinimizeToTray 0.0.1.2006102615+
4) Smilie Inserter 0.7.0

Very nice and clear bug report thank you.

Can you reproduce in -safe-mode (ie without the add-ons) ?

Hi,

Yes it is re-produced (all cases are) with the TB3.0 in safe mode (i.e. no addons installed).

Thanks for the kind comment regarding the report. Information Systems Graduate :)
