a wavy blue line and a text of "Welcome to Seamonkey ..."

It was not any of the newsgroup messages, and when I selected
one of the other messages, I could not afterwards get back

Now, of course, I can adjust/minimize the message pane

Is this some recent improvement? or a coding error?


The "mysterious Welcome message" you mention is probably
chrome://messenger/content/start.xhtml which you can select in
Edit->Preferences->Mail&Newsgroups at the Mail Start Page.


It does indeed look like it. At least the header with the blue
waves does. I can't remember the content, but it looks like the
right format. I'll see what shows the next time I start up SM
and select to open email folders in new tabs.



Why you are getting the "Page with-in a Page" effect is beyond
memaybe one of the devs will drop by!

[SM 2.3.3, Win7] Odd UI behaviour opening e-mail folders, and newsgroups, as tabs.

2011-09-14 Thread Rostyslaw Lewyckyj

I'm on a Win7 Ultimate with SP1 system. My SM 2.3.3 is the pushed
update to SM 2.3.2 which was downloaded and applied over an
SM 2.0.14 system. I have no add-ons.

My email/news display is set up to have a folder pane on the left
and a messages pane on the right. The message reading area has been
minimized. In view>layout I have classic view + Thread pane + Folder
pane selected.
When I select a folder it opens and the messages available are listed
in the right pane. When I select a message and CR or double click
the message opens in full screen window and CTRL-W  brings me back
to the message pane.
So far, so good.  NOW if I choose a second folder and right click,
and choose OPEN IN A NEW TAB. SM opens a new tab but the message
pane layout has been split horizontally into a message list and
a message reading area!!
Moreover when I chose to open the mozilla.support.seamonkey
newsgroup folder the reading area displayed a header with
a wavy blue line and a text of "Welcome to Seamonkey ..."
and underneath a blurb about SeaMonkey features.
It was not any of the newsgroup messages, and when I selected
one of the other messages, I could not afterwards get back

P.s. I hope my description is sufficiently clear for others
to reproduce the behaviour.
