Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.described in details 2. 3. Actual Results: described in details Expected Results: either: a) collapse attachment panel to match message header panel size or b) allow selection of attachments in the attachment panel that cannot be scrolled up into the message header panel area here is a uuencoded screenshot of my mail frame. notice the blue attachment panel extends below the message header panel. this is the trouble area. never mind, can't attach. let me know if you want to see it.

Lars Anderson, is this bug still a problem for you? Your description is not very clear; a screenshot would be appreciated if still a problem. The perhaps-related bug 122180 has been fixed in 1.7, so please be sure you have upgraded.

i am running 1.7a & it is still a problem. see the gray area protruding down. i can wheelmouse the scroll bar in the attachment pane into invisibility, (as shown), and the last entry is partially occluded. it used to be i could not select the last entry, but i think that is possible now. (i'll double check). if i don't have an attachment window scroll-bar - and if there are exactly a full window full of attachments, the display vibrates while that message is being displayed.

Confirming based on screenshot. The vibrating list of attachments sounds like the old problem with a vibrating list of messages, bug 201379. Bug 218453 was entered as a lower-level handler for that problem. But you shouldn't be seeing this at all!

But you shouldn't be seeing this at all! forget the vibration thing. yes, i am mixing up this bug with an unrelated annoyance. the vibration is, as you say, in the message list pane, NOT the attachment pane. also, what i said in my last message about 'the last entry is partially occluded' is incorrect - there are TWO more attachments below the name that is partially occluded. the only way to save those is to do a 'save all' or to do the method of deleting some attachments & resending in my original description.
