Using September 27th build on linux 6.0 and NT 4.0 (haven't yet tried mac) After adding more than a couple addressee lines in a message compose window, the addressing block display goes bananas -- refresh doesn't help. 1. From messenger window, New Msg. 2. In the message compose window, type a name on the first address line and hit return. Repeat to add several addressee lines. Result: addressing block display goes weird and often runs into subject line. Scrolling within the addressing block makes it worse -- often adding blank address lines at top of block. Can't tell what addresses have been entered.

Same on mac. Overall problems occur when adding lines which will exceed the current viewing area of the address block. Scrolling makes the area worse.

I'd like to recommend this for a Dogfood usage bug for review by PDT team. This is a problem that seems to be easily encountered by folks.

Putting on [PDT+] radar.

I am focusing this bug on the display/clipping problem of the addressing Widget. Therefore I have updated the summary to reflect the real problem.

Have just added a sample xul file that demonstrate the display/clipping problem. Open it into the browser and you will see the problem right away. Reassign to trudelle.

reassigning to hyatt for triage. Possible workaround is to use a table rather than a tree for this, is that an option for you?

reassigning to buster per hyatt, should be fixed by lightweight ender.

could somebody explain to me what I'm supposed to do with this bug? Hyatt, what is the editor doing to cause display problems in mail compose? I see the problem, but I don't understand why you think the editor is doing something wrong, or why "lightweight ender" (I don't really know what this means, the term has been applied to lots of different things) will fix it.

reassigning to Trudelle -- see buster's comment above.

Although this probably could be fixed in the toolkit, I suspect mail/news is going to have to find a workaround where we remember the recipient data on our own. Reassigning to ducarroz.

Ok, this is being worked on elsewhere. Marking a dup. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 16709 ***

Using builds 1999121309 on win98, and build 19991211308m12 mac and linux, this is not fixed completely, but as stated regarding displaying of names this is fixed. However, if you scroll to get to the 4th line, then send, some of the recipients don't get messages (logging a separate bug for that).
