Bug Description

Binary package hint: mozilla-thunderbird

Open Thunderbird.
Click "Address Book".
Click "New Card".
Using the settings below, the menu is cut off, even when shrunk with the corner collapse tool. The only way to "click" OK is to hit 'enter'. The user of this computer didn't know that.

[Desktop settings honed for a senior (78 years old).]

Application font: Sans; 14
Document font: Sans; 14
Desktop font: Sans; 14
Window title font: Sans bold; 14
Fixed-width font: Monospace; 14

Resolution: 1024x768

mozilla-thunderbird: 2.0.0.0 (optional install using "installnewthunderbird.sh" - 2007-05-19)
mozilla-thunderbird: 1.5.0.12-0ubuntu0.6.06

I have a screenshot, but don't know how to attach it...

------------------

Is it possible to add a scrollbar easily?
