thunderbird starts up with a too small window #39
Comments
Same here on Ubuntu. |
Same here in K-Ubuntu (KDE) but it's ok with Ubuntu (Unity 3D) |
I have had the same issue with linux mint 13, it is only true when the window was not completely maxamised before closing and it is always a similar size and place. It is not that it has been scaled down (zoomed out), it is just that the size has been wrongly adjusted, in such a way that you could do normally by dragging the corner of the window, and so this bug can be worked around, although is still annoying. I include information about my thunderbird (I can also send screenshots if you want): Application Basics

Hi, could anyone provide a VirtualBox VM illustrating the bug ? |
Wouldn't a screenshot do? |

@luigino: a VM illustrates the bug by providing an environment to reproduce the bug, and thus helps me debugging. It also saves me a lot of time setting up a new environment. @asterix5: I guess RapidShare or Dropbox should be sufficient. |
Sorry i have tried but virtualbox isnt running properly for me so i On 09/07/12 21:13, foudfou wrote:

@asterix5 you could try to install FireTray from the internet (from addon.mozilla.org), or you could try to ssh from/to your VM. |
I created a VM but couldn't reproduce the bug. |
After a test with a new profile, the bug come with the install of lightning add-on. |
Problem apparently disappeared on Ubuntu since updating to TB 14. |
I have upgraded to tb 14 on linux mint 13, and the problem is still there, although when i disable lightening it does not happen. |
Just upgraded to thunderbird 14 and lightning 1.6 on archlinux, and the problem is still there |
thank you @lapoigne ! This is indeed related to |
Same problem. |
I stand corrected: the problem is still there on linuxmint 13 and thunderbird 14, but apparently only on the first launch. |
I am using linux mint 13 and thunderbird, and the problem is still there when i restart it. the way to reproduce it is that you need lightening installed, and you need to have "start minimised to system tray" as an option, then make the window unmaximised (so less than the full screen, but more than the tiny window that gets created). Then you quit thunderbird (not minimise to tray) and restart it, and it will have changed to the tiny window. Equally, if you have the window maximised before restart, then it will restart maximised, but when you unmaximise it it will be a tiny window rather than a normal sized unmaximised window. |
Hi all, could you build and test the |
This build work fine for me. |
Looks like we're in business. |
How can I download that branch? |
git clone https://github.com/foudfou/FireTray.git -b start-hidden |
How do i add that to firetray? On 25/07/12 10:03, luigino wrote:

building instructions may be of some help |
It works well for me too. Thanks. |
I followed the build instructions, then installed firetray-0.4.2.xpi from the folder ../Firetray/build/ that had appeared in my home folder, and the problem is still there :( lm13, tb14.0, lightening 1.6. |
@asterix5 |
Um I'm not sure, is git://github.com/foudfou/FireTray.git the right one? |
git will default to the master branch if not otherwise specified. |
Bug resolved with the " git clone https://github.com/foudfou/FireTray.git -b start-hidden " sources (Asterix5 ;) ) thanks a lot. |
resolved: 4fb215c. Will be included in the next official release v0.4.3 |
since version 0.4.2 it is only about 200x200 dots in its site. Previously it started with something like 800x600 at an almost stable Gentoo Linux.
