601231 - The "From" field on every mailing list message in the 3-pane window is always covered by reply buttons

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Thunderbird :: Message Reader UI, defect)

Description

[Ferko Mrkvicka]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; de; rv:1.9.2.10) Gecko/20100915 Ubuntu/10.04 (lucid) Firefox/3.6.10
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.1.12) Gecko/20100915 Thunderbird/3.0.8

I experience a problem with the new design. I like the way how the reply buttons are arranged, but it doesn't work for messages that come to/from a mailing list (group). Namely the "from" field (sender) in the header is all covered by the "Reply" button, which is pushed further leftwards by the "Reply to group" button. In "normal" messages (no mailing list), there is no "Reply to list" button, and the "Reply" button gives way to sender's field. But in mailing list messages is it all wrong, as could be seen in the picture whose URL I provided (that's in German, I know). 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Thunderbird
2. Select any mailing list message in the 3-pane window
3. There you go...
Actual Results:  
The sender's address is invisible, covered by Reply buttons.

Expected Results:  
The sender's address should be visible and clickable as well...

I'm using the default theme, but my TB's in German and i'm using the following Extensions: Display Mail User Agent, Enigmail, MagicSLR

This should be fixed in Thunderbird 3.1.

Ferko any reasons you stay on 3.0.x ?

Sorry guys, it's because of Ubuntu, but that'll change in a week...

Can you comment if the bug is fixed when you get to 3.1 :)

I changed to TB 3.1 and the problem disappeared! But for the sake of the people who are still using Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx (with long-term support), this fix should be backported.

Ubuntu will move to 3.1 AFAIK.
