[Bug 186448] Re: Firefox/Thunderbird Preferences Window too short
Recent releases of Thunderbird now have 'Preferences' displayed in a main window tab as per the change also made to Firefox. Any problems displaying 'Preferences' in a too small window have been fixed as the tab is scrollable to allow for a large number of options. ** Changed in: thunderbird (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/186448 Title: Firefox/Thunderbird Preferences Window too short To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/186448/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

How to select/access invisible parts in Thunderbird (Firefox) when window is cut off! If this issue is still relevant to anybody...while I haven`t found a bug fix, the easiest way to access non visible parts in Thunderbird Account Settings etc. is using your PC`s TAB key...click on the uppermost visible part in the settings window, then start pressing the TAB key and it will either highlight or dotframe selected settings in succession...if the next visible part is not highlighted or dotframed, then you know you have hit an invisible setting, press Enter...and there you go. -- Firefox/Thunderbird Preferences Window too short https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/186448 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

John, sorry for the confusion, I meant my comment after the one you quoted. The issue is indeed still present in thunderbird 2.0.0.14. The issue is the following (steps to reproduce): 1.) Open preferences and switch to a tab which content is not high like Privacy or Atachments 2.) Close preferences and re-open it again, see that it opens showing the same tab you switched to earlier but with resized height (in this case: decreased height). 3.) Now switch to a different tab and see that the height of the window is not high enough to show all the contents of the other tab -- Firefox/Thunderbird Preferences Window too short https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/186448 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 186448] Re: Firefox/Thunderbird Preferences Window too short
The same problem occurred with Thunderbird (2.0.0.14) on Vista Home Basic. Parts of the Account Settings window is not visible, plus it is not resizable. The problems over OS-es might be related. (Although there is no such problem on the same machine with Ubuntu) By the way is there a way to access the non-visible fields and buttons? I would like to change my local folder - but the button for it is not visible (and the field is not editable). ** Attachment added: AccountSettingsWindowTooShort.jpg http://launchpadlibrarian.net/14199621/AccountSettingsWindowTooShort.jpg -- Firefox/Thunderbird Preferences Window too short https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/186448 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Nope, the problem with firefox (3 beta 4) is still existent on my up-to-date installation of hardy beta. In the advanced tab, the button Check Now is still not completely visible.

[Bug 186448] Re: Firefox/Thunderbird Preferences Window too short
I looked again, and I realized that while the window no fixes its size vertically, it doesn't fix itself horizontally. If the button is cut off on the bottom, it will redraw to fit. If it is cut off on the right, it will remain cut off. Is this what you mean? If so, I agree with you, and I'll change the bug to too narrow. -- Firefox/Thunderbird Preferences Window too short https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/186448 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 186448] Re: Firefox/Thunderbird Preferences Window too short
I can confirm this for firefox (3 beta 3). See attached screenshot, the width of the preferences window is to small. But I just installed thunderbird (2.0.0.12) and there everything is fine. The preferences window is higher than that from the screenshot of Nattgew. Nattgew, maybe you could clarify: What version of thunderbird are you using? Are you sure that you haven't resized it (made too small) manually at some point? Btw, I am using an up-to-date version of hardy alpha 5, which was not dist-upgraded but freshly installed. I just installed thunderbird the first time, so there is not chance of old config-files lying around with a user-defined height... ** Attachment added: Screenshot-Firefox Preferences.png http://launchpadlibrarian.net/12356086/Screenshot-Firefox%20Preferences.png -- Firefox/Thunderbird Preferences Window too short https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/186448 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 186448] Re: Firefox/Thunderbird Preferences Window too short
OK, forget my comment about thunderbird from above. I just found out the following: There are different tabs (No real tabs, but similar), with General, Display, Composition and so on. Now when you select one tab and close the preferences window, thunderbird remembers that and shows the same tab, when you open the preferences-windows again, however, it resizes it so fit the current tab. That means: If you left it at a big tab (actually I mean a tab that has much content, therefore is high) the last time like General or Composition everything is fine when you open the preferences-window and switch to other tabs. However, when you have left it at a small tab, like Privacy or Attachments the last time and then open the preferences window and switch to a big tab, the window is to small to show the whole content. Nattgew: Can you confirm? So everything boils down to this: When the preferences-window is opened, it should resize to fit the biggest one of the tabs, not the currently showing one. ** Changed in: firefox (Ubuntu) Status: New = Confirmed ** Changed in: mozilla-thunderbird (Ubuntu) Status: New = Confirmed -- Firefox/Thunderbird Preferences Window too short https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/186448 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
