test case: bring up a new message in mail compose. make the window fairly narrow. type a bunch of text. notice that it doesn't wrap to window width. If you make the window wider, beyond a certain width the text *will* wrap to window width. This does not happen in html composer. From this i conclude it is likely a layout issue that is triggered by the style sheet that mail is using. plaintext, fixed width mail wrapping still works fine. Akana and I see the problem on mac and linux, with 3/8 bits and also 3/7 bits.
Also, no horizontal scrollbar appears; the text beyond the window size is just inaccessible. The window doesn't have to be all that narrow to trigger this. E.g. my default compose window size is set up to approximate the 72 column wrap with which my mail will actually be sent, and I see it there; I have to size the window significantly wider to see all the text I type.

Reassigning to Buster's list.

Nominate for nsbeta1: this is a recent regression and makes mail compose hard to use. Can we please get this assigned to a person who still works here at least for triage, since it broke very recently?

I cannot reproduce this on Win2K with fresh bits as of this morning. I'll try on Linux. Also, taking the bug from Karnaze - hope you don't mind, Chris.

Would we hold mozilla0.8.1 for this? I don't know enough yet to say yes or no. Your comments welcome. Cc'ing asa to hear whether this has turned up on #qa or elsewhere. /be
I'm not seeing this any more on this morning's Linux build either. Joe? Is it gone on Mac as well?
I've heard intermittant reports of this. I don't think we'd hold 0.8.1 for it.
Marking WORKSFORME - please REOPEN if anybody sees this still.
