filter assistant window too tall especially on small screens, and often too wide #239

Depending on the amount of custom filter templates defined, the filter assistant window can end up quite tall - to the point of pushing the action buttons at the bottom [Create Filter] [Edit Filter] or [Next] being pushed off the screen. This can especially happen if very low resolutions or larger values for windows scaling are configured in the operating system. IN the example below we see the text is condensed together and the bottom buttons are missing:

Filter_assist

The initial width of the dialog can often be a lot wider than desired:

At the moment the window can only be resized in width, but not in height, so this should also be fixed.

Here are some initial improvements - eventually I need to rewrite this in html using flexbox.

quickFilters-wx-6.5pre4.zip

The window uses these 2 system files - maybe they behave differently in other OS?

<?xml-stylesheet href="chrome://global/skin/global.css" type="text/css"?>
<?xml-stylesheet href="chrome://messenger/skin/preferences/preferences.css" type="text/css" ?>

To install version above download zip file and drag the file into Thunderbird Add-ons Manager (do not extract contents, it won't install like that) (To see layout changes from the included style sheet, you may have to restart Thunderbird after installation)

I made a quick test of the new version in ubuntu, here is what the assistant window looks like by default:
