scrollbars not working correctly in Yahoo mail

[Chris]

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

This is the "new" Yahoo mail.

If you change the fonts (larger) in Firefox, it's impossible to scroll down to the new message in the folder pane. Firefox doesn't seem to realise that the larger fonts require that the pane be scrolled a little further.

The work-around is to highlight the bottom visible message and then use the down arrow to move to the next messages (highlight bar disappears out of the pane as you do so). The workaround is slow because it requires loading all messages outside the pane until you get to the one you want and is also unacceptable because you can't actually see the name/subject in the folder pane.

I got the similar thing here also. When changing the font size, the vertical scrolling bar in the title area of the Yahoo e-mail disappears.

Mine just dissapeared one day. No change in any settings. And it is obvious that this site is just populated by people having problems and not anyone who has answers.

Ubuntu 8.10 "Intrepid Ibex" and Firefox 3.0.8 are no longer officially supported. If this issue still occurs on Ubuntu 21.04 with Firefox 89.0.1 please file a new bug report.
