From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:0.9.2+) Gecko/20010709 Netscape6/6.1b1 BuildID: The window resize handle in the lower-right corner of the Macintosh UI intrudes upon the security padlock and network connection icons. The default position for these icons needs to be moved a few pixels to the "left". Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. run on a mac 2. look at lower right corner of window, especially on mail compose and mail messages windows. 3. Actual Results: obscured icons Expected Results: unobscured icons The problem is "theme" independent. I tried with Classic, Mozilla-modern and Toy Factory PR1 without any difference in behavior.
Yes, this is a problem in message composition and Composer at least. It will be a problem on Windows too, once the sizing grippy is added to resizable windows on that platform. Someone should file separate bugs for each faulty window, and make them block this one. The appropriate fix is to add a 16*16 <box> to the bottom right corner of these windows -- that way theme authors don't have to each take care of it.

Summary: window resize handle intrudes on theme graphics → Window resize handle (grow box) covers offline indicator
I don't believe that's the right fix. I believe the right fix is that <window/>s should get this box for free, without each file having to specify it.

there's really no way to solve this in the general case. take, for example, the view-source window. If we made it such that there was an area blocked out where nothing could be laid out there, we'd end up with a content area inset by 16px on the bottom and right and all of that space empty. Perhaps there's something that can be done for status bars in general, but that should be done in the status bar code not at the window level. I think it involves a case-by-case analysis and that any sweeping toolkit change would not be correct for all cases. who owns the status bar xbl? Is there something that every status bar inherits from?

i think if we put code into statusbar, and both scroll bars we'd be pretty much covered. the one case left is a page that fits perfectly into a view source window that has no scrollbars or sizer but for which one or two chars would be covered by the grippy. I think that's acceptable, if someone needs those characters they can resize the window (or [drag] select them).
Another bug (possible dupe?)that is related, bug 83222
should this go to the offline component of mailnews?

Sarah, I will defer to you or one of the other developers to make this call. I don't mind taking it. I think Mitch's original problem included more than just offline indicator (security padlock but not sure that is even in the composition/reply/forw message windows).

This is a far reaching problem that affects many windows: 1. The arrows on the vertical scrollbar in the main browser window is covered by the grow box when the status bar is turned off and there is no horizontal scrollbar (This is made worse by the new 'hide toolbar button' on top level windows) 2. The image/cookie manager dialog 3. The form manager and composer 'Advanced Edit' dialogs (bug 100577) 4. The offline indicator in many mail windows including the address book (bug 90489) 5. The 'Customize Sidebar' window (bug 111004) 6. The 'Manage Bookmarks' dialog 7. And probably most other resizable mac windows) I think that this is a major problem because often important widgets are covered. UI consistency and correctness is pretty important.
