WIN98se (4.10.2222) MOZ 2002-03-06-04

Note: I have _eight_ "customized" headers added to the normal list.  That makes
my list significantly longer than the norm.

A) Edit->Message-Filters ... New to display "FilterRules" form; *or*
B) Search->SearchMessages to display AdvancedSearch.

Position the box low on the screen.  Click on the header selection to drop down
the list.

If the list extends beyond the bottom of the screen, it is not possible to reach
the items at the bottom.  With the arrow keys one can make the list scroll,
however the selected item is below the edge of the screen and not visible.  With
the mouse one can't do anything useful.

EXPECTED: detect when the dropdown extends beyond the screen and activate a
scroll arrow.  Some Windoz products un-pin the top edge of the dropdown list
from the listbox control, allowing the whole list to be visualized so long as it
isn't larger than the full screen height.  That's nice but arrows might still be
required if the list were long enough.

The misbehavior is very similar to

Of course, with the mouse you can move the dialog up and all is okay (I'm using
8 custom header list).
Search UI behaves such that the list opens upward, so I'm not seeing a problem
in search ui.  Filters UI opens the criteria list downward even when there's no
room for the full list.

I checked Linux - fine. My Mac OSX does not allow me to proceed, it hangs in
Filter dialog. 
It seems that only on Windows - I have Win2K - we have list of folders, which
looks different: there is vertical scroll bar instead of up/down arrows on the
top/bottom of the list. It is also on Search|Search Messages dialog - I verified
this place before - it was just with arrows. It could be regression last couple
builds.

Re: Laurel's comment "Search UI behaves such that the list opens upward, so I'm

The Search UI is still not quite right.  If you're careful about it it is quite
possible to position the form so that the list opens downward and runs off the
screen.

Note also: there is an easy work-around on this one, by repositioning the form.
 It should get fixed but it doesn't deserve a lot of urgency.

About my comment: I was talking about issues with long list of existing folders
in 'Target Folder' field in Filter-Rules or Advanced-Search dialog. I am going
to separate it to another bug, since it is actually different field(s) and might
have different priority.

Good news: I don't see yesterday strange looking long folder list with scroll
bar. Nothing to log - great! So, forget my comments!
