Problems with the Filter Log window #203

Closed kiki-ja closed 10 months ago

kiki-ja commented 12 months ago

Problems with the Filter Log window.

Bettetbird 115.2.1-b11 (64bit) Windows 10 Pro 22H2 (64bit)

Steps to reproduce: Click the 'Filter Log' button of the Message Filters.

Actual results: Click the 'Filter Log' button of the Message Filters. The log space in the Filter Log window is closed.

Expected results: The log is displayed in the Filter Log window.

Not reproduced in Thunderbird 115.2.2 (64bit) + Windows 10 Pro 22H2 (64bit). Is this problem a bug?

[Steps to reproduce:] Message Filters

I don't see a problem:

I tried a few profiles, the dialogue was always big enough to show the log content.

According to the code https://searchfox.org/comm-esr115/rev/4ba40f4f2bff3ee4f1b33a3a9040ce7a5d6e6037/mailnews/search/content/viewLog.xhtml#16-17 the window has an initial height of 375px. Of course it will shrink if you make is smaller and that small size persists to the next opening.

So just make it big and it will stay big? What problem am I missing?

I also tested with a new profile (no add-ons, no customization) and the results reproduced the problem.

the window has an initial height of 375px.

In my case it does not, and the log space is always closed.

Yes, the 'Filter Log' window is functioning properly as it should.

So just make it big and it will stay big? What problem am I missing?

I thought it might be just a problem with Beterbird 115, but it seems to be a problem with my environment. The cause is unknown, but I will explore it.

We had a lot of discussion in a newsgroup de.comm.software.mozilla.mailnews, some people had the issue, others didn't. See last article here: http://www.al.howardknight.net/?STYPE=msgid&MSGI=%3C371a3902-8742-4068-85a8-6110c2b052de%40barghahn-online.de%3E

And TB should behave any different than BB. Does it behave differently on the same profile?

kiki-ja commented 10 months ago

Sorry for the late report, but with Betterbird 115.4.0-b16 this problem is no longer reproduced. It is unclear why it has returned to normal.

Please close this issue.

Thanks for the feedback.

The log window always starts off not showing the log operations sub window. It's not clear it needs to be expanded to show the window. Can it not default to show the log?

Well, yes, if you read the ticket you'll see that his is not reproducible. The manual fix is to open xulstore.json in your profile in an editor and delete this entry "chrome://messenger/content/viewLog.xhtml":{"viewLogWindow":{"width":"871","height":"841","screenX":"-258","screenY":"-30"}},. This is a JSON file, if you don't delete it correctly and cause a JSON syntax error, you'll lose everything stored in the file, that is all UI settings, window sizes, etc.
