Hello Brent,

So, when you compose a new message in imp 6.1.4, it now defaults to opening the compose window full height...1200 pixels on the desktop in my case. I can't see a way to change it.

to clarify the matter of the 1200 pixels: Do you think any
window height larger than f.e. 1000 pixels is just too much text area?

Or do you want to say the window is 1200 pixels
and sits directly next to the taskbar / overlaps the taskbar?

In my workflow I usually run Firefox with the max possible window size.
Therefore new messages also use the max possible window size.

How do you normally access imp? Full window size?

This shouldn't matter though (i.e. full window size). The sizing of the compose window is completely independent from the size of any browser window.

The compose window is sized in relation to the size of the *screen*. It will be sized at the screen height minus any UI Chrome (i.e. Windows taskbar) minus 50 pixels.

The problem I believe Thomas is reporting is that he has a browser that is not correctly removing the size of the UI chrome. That's what I am asking about in terms of working around these broken browsers (I can't reproduce this on any browser in either Windows 7 or WinXP).

I have an 1920x1200 screen.  I never run any app full screen as that
just wastes space.  I typically run my browser around 1024x800-ish.
The initial compose window opens the size I expect (828x683), but
then tries to fill the screen from top to bottom (I run the start bar
at the side, so it doesn't quite make it to the bottom) and is now a
compose window of 828x1150.

It is probably all by design, but I'm not a fan of the design.

This is correct behavior. If you don't like the design decision, you can always hack the source.

Ok, I found it in the code and commented out the line.  For those playing
along with a copy of the home game, the file is:

<horde-install-dir>/imp/js/compose-dimp.js

Comment out line 1186:

/* window.resizeTo(window.outerWidth || document.documentElement.offsetWidth, screen.availHeight - (window.screenY || 0) - 50); */


Now it acts normally.
