771652 - can't add text to filter rule boxes unless resize the message filter dialog box

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 736635

(MailNews Core :: Filters, defect)

Description

[webmaster2]

Attachment: screenshot of message filter dialog, size that causes bug

I attempted to create a new message filter.  I added text to the first rule box, and when I clicked "+" the text disappeared.  Clicking "+" did not create a new rule line.  I was able to get around the bug by making the message filter dialog box bigger (dragging lower right corner).  I am able to reproduce the problem by making the dialog box smaller again (see attached screen shot).  I have 42 message filters defined, about 2/3 of which are active and the rest are disabled.

Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3

thanks,
JC

Is the scrollbar appearing properly?
If the dialog is that small, any new rule created immediatelly shifts the previous rule out of sight behind the top edge of the rules list. This transition looks like the text has disappeared because all the other fields are the same and it looks like you are still in the same rule. But you should be able scroll back to it.

Or is there any other problem?

Maybe we should disallow the dialog to become so small? Force a minimum height to show at least 2-3 rules ?

This may be related to bug 736635, where the initial dialog size is set too small on OS X.
