New minimal width breaks Gnome Window tiling

[Wuestenschiff]

Since Thunderbird 17 (or 16) there is a minimal width from sligthly more than 800pixels. You can't make it thiner. This is anoying and breacks certain OS functionalities.

I for acample use a 1600*1200 Eizo screen as second display. Until TB 17 it was possible to arange thunderbird with the gnome builtin snap2frame that it woul use half of that screen. This isn't possible anymore becouse thnderbird wont alow it to be only 800px width.

Reproduce:
Try to make your thunderbird smaler than 800px.

Description: Ubuntu 12.10
Release: 12.10

thunderbird:
  Installed: 17.0.2+build1-0ubuntu0.12.10.1
  Candidate: 17.0.2+build1-0ubuntu0.12.10.1

Hello Wuestenschiff,
Thank you for submitting this bug and reporting a problem with Thunderbird.

You made this bug report in 2013 and there have been several versions of Ubuntu and Thunderbird since then.

Could you confirm that this is no longer a problem and that we can close the ticket?
Or, if it is still a problem, could you run the following (only once):
apport-collect BUGNUMBER

and upload the updated logs and and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue.

Thank you again for helping make Ubuntu and Thunderbird better.

Hi G

Sorry, can't remeber the exact problem. (5 years is not really a
reaction time to be proud of ;))

Seems to work with 52.8.0 (64-bit)

Best regards

Thanks for the update, Wuestenschiff. I am learning about bug triage and thought I would clear up some old bugs while I learn. I will close the report now.
Have a great day!
