Description jerry.levan 2011-06-20 13:56:11 UTC 
Evo 3.0.2 in Fedora 15 has a usability problem in the Mail subsystem.

When viewing/using the mail account setup window in the preference dialog if an
imap account is being created/viewed the window is too long and the Cancel
and Ok buttons cannot be seen.

This window cannot be shrunk! ( it looks like the sections are too widely
spaced apart.)

Reopening and confirming, this is not a duplicate, this is regression from 2.32. The account editor is with a correct size when editing POP3 account, but is oversized when editing IMAP account, with too large space between widgets. Wherever the bug resides, it's not a question of too tall dialog on a too small screen resolution. (By the way, mine 1600x900 resolution isn't that small.)

evo patch

for evolution;

It does imap-features plugin, and in that one GtkLabel, which had set width_chars=-1, which confused Gtk+ enough to draw this incorrectly.
This patch is removing all such assignments from .ui files.
