Yeah, I'm aware of that, but even then, if I expand the toolbar, the
window gets bigger and I have to move it before it re-docks itself. If
this action (the window size changing based on the tool bar) were
removed, I THINK, that the buddy list creeping-up problem would also be
fixed. This seems to coincide with the fact that if my buddy list is a
little above the bottom of the screen and I set it to text only, when I
restart Fire, the buddy list is even further up the screen than it was
before. Every time the tool bar resets itself from text to icon, the
buddy list gets slightly shorter.
Basically I'm saying that if the link between toolbar size and window
size were removed (i.e. the tool bar changes size WITHOUT changing the
size of the whole window) the buddy list problem would be fixed.
