Screenshot says it all.

URL is http://kerz/mail.gif. I notice in the other bug that the panel fit in your screenshots. Please create a new profile so the window is the size it will be for everyone else when testing your stuff. I can only hope that you didn't see this problem to check something like this in.

"I can only hope that you didn't see this problem to check something like this in." Bhuvan, are you purposely doing this to appear human? ;-) Looks like a spacing issue, can you get this in 9.2?

Looks like it's problem only for every first time user views that panel. Clicking on some other settings (like Server settings) and coming back to Copies and Folders seem to have magically fixed it. BTW, I haven't noticed this problem in the Classic skin mode. I will talk to Joe about this weirdness. Anyway, I am cutting on all separators so that we can provide better accommodation always.

Adding Joe Hewitt to the cc list. Looks like the grid layout I used to arrange the UI seemed to getting drawm much before the images and items are loaded. So, the UI looks all cut off first time. According to this hypothesis, the reason it works fine the second time (when you click back on this setting && ofcourse resize will fix it in a different way by providing more area for the layout)is that all elements are available and are drawn properly. Hewitt suggested that I can try simulating the grid layout using boxes and see if we can get around this problem. I will give a shot at that. Adding Eric Vaughan to the cc list for if he has any ideas on other easier alternatives here.

After changing the layout to use boxes and removing the seperators to improve the UI, CopiesAndFolders panel look like the images posted in attachments (39884, 39885). Modern skin is still slightly off in terms of height. But we do see all the elements that need to be there in the panel. There is a need to rework all our panels to reduce the accountmanager window size and adjust the prefs in the panels accordingly. Unless there is a better short term solution, I would like to proceed with this patch for now. Any input is welcome. Seth & Hewitt, please review. thanks. bhuvan

Scott, Can we consider this for nsBranch ? It is certainly better than the status quo.

you wrote: "Looks like the grid layout I used to arrange the UI seemed to getting drawn much before the images and items are loaded." are you just working around a grid bug? are there other areas in the app where grid has this problem?

Can we get this checked in?

setting to 0.9.4 it's not something that would hold up 0.9.3 it still seems like we're working around a grid bug. but blake, if you want to review the two patches, I'll sr. when racham gets back from vacation, he can drive this in.

Bhuvan can you drive getting this patch checked in soon? If you can't get to it soon then we need to push this off to .9.5 per the triage meeting today. So feel free to change this to .9.5 if you can't get the patch in.

Filed bug 95442 to take care of the grid layout problem. However, I tried to reproduce this bug on my laptop (with latest trunk build downloaded from sweetlou [2001081504], with a brand new profile). I noticed that the situation wrt to menulists is improved. They are getting drawn properly. May be the grid bug is fixed or my settings are changed. Blake, can you confirm if you still see the problem where menulists are getting cut on the righthand side. nbaca, karen, can you also check if you can reproduce this bug as posted at http://kerz/mail.gif ? My update build is going on. I will check again once that is done. If the grid layout problem is fixed, that leaves us with the part of fixing the height of the panel. I can get rid of the separators whereever possible so that we can get all the components into the view.

Yeah, now it's just a height problem.

Build 2001-08-15-04: WinMe, I see the same problem with the height issue.

After removing the separators to improve on the height issue, things looked fine with clasic skin. Modern skin still doesn't show the panel as expected (not even as it was like in attachment #39884 [details]). I noticed that the icons have changed/improved since that attachment (#39884) was posted. But it looks like that demanded more space around the widgets. Joe, is there any way to tweak this further via css rules..?

We already have class named 'small-margin' to help us in these kind of situations (with minimal margin values). Thanks Joe. New patch, which works with both classic and modern skins, coming up... Will also post updated screen shots.

Joe, Please review the latest patch (#46535). thanks.
