Hi...

I've just updated to TB3.

The right side of the task bar, the scroll window, etc. are
all cut off and inaccessible in their window.

If I make the window moveable and push
it to the left side of the screen, I'm still not able to
see the right side content. It still appears cut off.

If I increase the screen resolution, the issue is eliminated.
However, my eyes tremendously prefer the screen in 1024 x 768.

This problem did not occur to me with TB2.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

Thanks.

I had to create a new profile.
But somebody else fixed it by deleting the file
"localstore.rdf" inside the profile folder and re-migrating.

At the time I couldn't find a bug for this - it doesn't seem common -
but there may be one now. If not there ought to be.

Thanks for the input, Dave.

That did the trick.

However, closing the program and re-opening
reverts it back to the right side being cut off.

Any other suggestions would be much appreciated.

Thank you!

One current bug is https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=536245 -
Right side of entire Thunderbird window is cut off if toolbar width
exceeds window width

Yep...that's it.

The latest I've discovered is that the
issue occurs only when I have the 'old'
toolbar turned on.

Turning on the newer tool bar eliminates
the issue.

Thanks!
