Special Forums UNIX and Linux Applications Problem with Thunderbird 4.0 display layout Post 302575238 by slak0 on Monday 21st of November 2011 03:00:19 AM

The problem was resolved when recently I accidentally move the cursor and struck the button which was very fortuitous and moved the "unified folders" to the right. Apparently I had buried them to the left by the reverse action again without realizing it which led to further actions. It is amazing that no one on the design team had not caught that as one would think they would've tested that action beforehand. The basic resolve action is to put the cursor on the left margin and catch just the right margin of the field and drag it to the right but taking care not to pull the right margin of that field to far least it snap back leaving the user to question what they had done. Being so close to the left margin of Thunderbird made it difficult to discover.
Slackware is very tight about doing updates to a release as they are careful with dependencies, i.e. removing a program I suppose remove a library used by another application that might not occur in the update.
I am trying to take your advice and likewise with rel 4 of Firefox but in that case the app wants to be installed in /opt not in /usr where it occurs originally. My preference is for /opt as that would be the place for a user installed app.
