Original Redmine bug id: 7529
Original URL: http://redmine.yorba.org/issues/7529
Searchable id: yorba-bug-7529
Original author: Charles Lehner
Original description:

When I first added accounts, the messages list looked fine. But then I think
after I relaunched the app, I found the messages in the list are all collapsed
and unreadable. I can still click each one to open it, and everything else in
the UI seems to work fine. I tried removing .local/share/geary and adding my
accounts again, but I could not get back the uncollapsed messages list.

I compiled geary from trunk today and am using Debian testing, with a tiling
window manager.

Updated by Charles Lehner about 1 month ago

I found a fix for the problem: change the width of the conversation cell to
something greater than 0. My GTK seems to think that if the width is zero then
the height should be too.

  * **Status** changed from _Open_ to _Need Information_

Charles, can you tell us what theme you're using and what version of Gtk?

####

#3

Updated by Charles Lehner about 1 month ago

egtk revno 126, libgtk2.0-0 2.24.20-1, libgtk-3-0 3.8.4-1. I just tried out
the other themes and found the problem does not happen except with egtk.

#4

Updated by Eric Gregory about 1 month ago

  * **Status** changed from _Need Information_ to _Invalid_

Looks like the Elementary theme is only intended to support up to Gtk 3.4,
which makes sense when you consider that Elementary Luna is based on Ubuntu
12.04. I don't think it's worth filing a ticket with them as they already have
plans to update their theme, and I'm sure they wouldn't ship with an unusable
version of Geary.

#5

Updated by Charles Lehner about 1 month ago

Very well, I will continue to build geary with this one line patch.

This has been reported two more times, at bug #720044 and on Launchpad at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/geary/+bug/1259046.  It looks like both of them are on Mint, so this isn't purely an egtk issue.  Reopening for 0.6.

As noted on the Shotwell mailing list, switching to the Adwaita theme will work around this problem.
