Bug Description

Binary package hint: thunderbird

When receiving an email with enough (obviously depends on screen-res!) attachments and I want to "detach all" the dialog warning me this can not be undone does not show up entirely .. on my Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron) I can't move windows higher than the top of the screen, so I can't resize it to see the buttons either - experience (and a bit of faith) allows me to hit ENTER and thus proceed - but I think this is a bug worth mentioning/adressing/fixing - how about a scroll-field for the files.
That could ensure the dialog bits stay visible/reachable and would scale better for those (admittedly moronic) email-senders that haven't heard of ZIP-et-al ;-)
I'm currently using the package 2.0.0.16+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.1

Hello Count Zero.
Thanks for submitting this bug and reporting a problem with Thunderbird.

You made this bug report in 2008 regarding Thunderbird and there have been several versions of 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 come to Launchpad and make a comment to that effect?

Thank you again for helping make Ubuntu and Thunderbird better.
