Popup with detailed information

[MXEH]

There's also a problem the popup with detailed information on all individual rules. It displays correctly only in the Vertical View layout. In others, depending on the height of the message window, the information doesn't appear completely and the scroll bar doesn't appear.

Vertical View

Wide View or Classic View

Thunderbird Version: 78.14.0 (OS: Windows 7; )
Spam Score add-on Version: 1.2.0, 1.3.1

This seems to me like a Thunderbird 78 bug. I've tested the vertical layout on the latest version of Thunderbird (91.1.2) and the popup displays a scrollbar when the rows don't fit on the screen.

In this example, for Vertical View, everything is fine. It's a full view and everything is fine here. The same preview for Wide View or Classic View is different and sometimes the scroll bar doesn't show or shows incomplete without the bottom arrow. You cannot see all the data then. It all depends on the height of the e-mail list window and the preview of the e-mail content. Switch Thunderbird to Wide View or Classic View, and test by changing the height of the email content view window.

Sorry, I meant the wide view layout in my last comment not the vertical view. I've done some more tests with different screen sizes and was now able to reproduce the problem even on the latest Thunderbird 91.

I don't think it is a problem of the add-on rather than a general problem with popup windows in Thunderbird not adjusting to the screen boundaries when the popop is too large. I will check if there is any way to detect the space left to limit the height of the popup.

I will also install the latest version of Thunderbird 91 for testing, because maybe this problem doesn't occur in the new version. :)

I tested the popup on Thunderbird 91.1.2 and it's ok. The problem only occurs in the older version 78.x. :) In 78.x the popup started with the Spam Scores button, but in 91.x it isn't.

This is true in most cases. Nevertheless, I was able to reproduce the issue in Thunderbird 91 as you can see in the following screenshot. It still fails to adjust the size of the popup when the message pane and the list view is divided just above the middle of the screen. In this case the popup is displayed behind the taskbar.

I tested today and I also had a case where the popup isn't complete and there's no scroll bar.

The problem should be fixed in the next update , which will be released this week. Please reopen this issue if the problem still persists after the update as I am currently not able to test the implemented workaround on older versions of Thunderbird.
