Compose new email window incorrectly resizes when viewing attachment bar

[Tom Verdaat]

Binary package hint: evolution

Upgraded to Lucid and now consistently experiencing the following bug with Evolution:

Steps to recreate:
1. Start a new email message (ctrl+N)
2. Display the "attachment bar" at the bottom of the window, either by clicking the + bottom left or by attaching a file to the message which will automatically show the attachment bar.

Effect:

Displaying the attachment bar (e.g. the white area which displays the attached files) increases the height of the window, even if the window is already as high as the available desktop height.

I lose the metacity window controls if the window was already maximized and the window jumps up or down every time i click anywhere on it.
A high 'windowed' compose window will extend beond the desktop height. Closing the attachment bar will reduce the window height back to the original height. It will just keep it the same height, making the regular text area higher.

This is a mess and forces me to use keyboard shortcuts only after attaching files.

Will add some screenshots to show what happens.

Details:

Ubuntu version: Lucid UNE
Desktop session: regular GNOME session
Evolution version: 2.28.3
Screen resolution: 1024 x 576
Desktop size: screen resolution minus a 24 pixel high GNOME top panel

LATEST VERSION TESTED:
evolution 2.30.3-1ubuntu7

This is occurring in Maverick under Evolution version 2.30.3 (evolution 2.30.3-1ubuntu7) as well.

See duplicate bug 668552 for more information.

Is this problem still happening in Natty?

Don't know. Just had enough of it. Did an export of my data and rebuild the modules in Thunderbird with extensions.
