Description of problem: When starting thunderbird or opening a new window, the window that appears is constrained to the smallest monitor I have in my multi-monitor setup. I need to manually resize the window every time. Popup menus and tooltips are also constrained to a small rectangle. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): thunderbird-2.0.0.12-6.fc9.x86_64 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Resize window 2. Restart thunderbird Actual results: Small window. Expected results: Large window. Additional info: Happens with firefox as well.
Does it happen also when you run thunderbird on the command line with -safe-mode parameter? If no, then it is some of your plugins. Does it happen also when you rename ~/.thunderbird directory to something else? If no, then some garbage happened in your profile.
Yes, it happens in all cases. The problem is one of my displays is 1024x768 and the other is 1600x1200. Thunderbird is constraining its windows to the size of the smaller monitor frame. (Even though it appears on the larger monitor.) Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 2624 x 1200, maximum 2624 x 2624 VGA connected 1024x768+0+432 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 304mm x 228mm TMDS-1 connected 1600x1200+1024+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 367mm x 275mm

The same thing happens every time in firefox safe mode, as well as moving .mozilla away.
Before firefox 3 (and still in thunderbird), right-click pop-up menus appear in the wrong place if opened too far to the right on the screen. If the menus would not fit on 1024x768, they are turned into scrolling menus. Tooltips do the same strange thing. On firefox 3, menus and tooltips work correctly. In all cases, new windows are still too small.
Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '9'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

Fedora 12 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-12-02. Fedora 12 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
