62691 - Mail Compose: Addressing Widget Size

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(MailNews Core :: Composition, defect, P3)

Description

[jglick]

Mail Compose Window. The Addressing dropdown menu widget (used to select "To",
"Cc", "Newsgroup", etc.) should only take up as much horizontal space as the
longest addressing text currently in use.  This duplicates 4.x behavior.

For example, "To" is the most commonly used menu item. If only "To"s are being
used, the horizontal space of this widget should only take up the space needed
for "To".  If a longer menu item is used, such as "Newsgroup", the horizontal
size of widget would increase to accommodate.  See attachment for example.

I don't know if this is possible with the new widgets?

Isn't this fixed with Hewitt's checkin?

This one is about horizontal space, see the screenshot. Hewitt fixed the 
vertical space bug. 

[To:      ] vs [To: ]

The addressing widget is going away, so this is a wonfix.
