734971 - Resizing results wrong alignment (delete/archive-buttons, search field, etc.)

Status: NEW

(Thunderbird :: Message Reader UI, defect)

Description

[Marc Gutt]

Attachment: thunderbird-viewport.png

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/535.11 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/17.0.963.78 Safari/535.11

Steps to reproduce:

Resized window to the half of the screen size (hot corner windows 7)


Actual results:

1.) Some email buttons aren't displayed correctly (not aligned on the left side) if the privacy warning message appears. How much buttons are hidden depens on the size of the email address as this raises the width.

2.) The search field is not visible as long the search button is clicked twice (hide/show search bar).

Here you can see both problems:

Expected results:

Buttons should be aligned correctly. The width of the search bar shouldn't be so wide that the search field is hidden.

I tried it here and I don't get the same issue. Reply/Forward/Delete buttons are appearing in-full even if I re-size the window.

Did you test it with an email that displays the privacy warning message? This is important. With normal emails you won't see this problem.

This is the message:

Do you also have the issue if Thunderbird is started in -safe-mode ?

I just did. And yes, now I get the same issue as yours.

Yes.

The second problem is the search field and the search filters. I've made a new screenshot with an explanation:

Maybe Hashem Masoud can test this case, too.

True. Vertical view causes the quick filter search text box to disappear fully or partially. Classic view doesn't show this problem.

I refer to this enhancement proposal:
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Thunderbird:Thunderbird_3_Possible_Enhancements#Auto_View

This could solve the problem if it isn't possible to obtain width of the search icon descriptions (different language = different width).

Marc, 
Do you still see this in version 13?
squib thinks these are fixed.

Not really:

The problem is still the same. The only thing that has changed is that the description is only displayed for 1-2 seconds and hides automatically. But the icons have still a too large minimum width and there is still the problem with the unreachable buttons inside of emails if the privacy warning message appears.

I'm using now the following userChrome.css to solve this issue:

/* remove quick search sticky sign */
#qfb-sticky {
	display: none !important;
}
/* remove "Quick Filter" text */
#qfb-filter-label {
	display: none !important;
}
/* move quick search-box to the left */
#qfb-qs-textbox {
	margin:0 0 0 -174px !important;
}
/* Phishing Warning Icon */
#phishingBarImage {
	display: none !important;
}
/* Remote Content / Images Icon */
#remoteContentImage {
	display: none !important;
}
/* complete phishing / image alert message bar */
.msgNotificationBar * {
	font-weight:normal !important;
	margin:0 !important;
	padding:0 !important;
	font-size:10px !important;
}
/* ignore button */
.msgNotificationBar button {
}
/* left message heading (the bold text) of phishing / image alert message */
.msgNotificationBarText {
}
/* left message small link of phishing / image alert message */
.msgNotificaton-smallText {
}

The search bar part of this bug is bug 592248, which I figured I should update and actually land sometime this century. :)

I think the issue with the message pane (specifically the notification bar being too wide and pushing everything else off-screen) is fixed as of version 24. I can't reproduce it anyway.

I'm still able to reproduce it. Before:

After userChrome.css:
