- the spacing issue reported by Helmut (<https://mail.gnome.org/archives/balsa-list/2016-September/msg00002.html>) - no idea how complicated it isIt seems to be a rendering issue in GtkTreeView--probably needs someone with intimate knowledge of that widget to diagnose whether it's an error in the way Balsa uses it, or an actual bug.
I also see this issue. Some observations on my box: - Playing with the TREE_VIEW_FIXED_HEIGHT setting in balsa-index.c does not help. - Closing and re-opening the mailbox tab usually (?) restores equal row heights. Some other issues I see in the mail list view when starting Balsa with a number of open mailbox tabs: - When Balsa downloads a large number of messages from POP3 (>100) which are fed through procmail, in some mailboxes only a few messages (say, 10, all new ones) are in the list. This doesn't happen if fewer messages are loaded. Closing and re-opening displays the full list (~1000 messages) properly. - Rarely threading and/or sorting isn't applied on startup - messages just appear in random order and/or without threading. Again, closing and re-opening helps (or re-sorting or changing the threading mode). Anyone else saw similar effects?
I get the sense that GtkTreeView no longer gets much attention from the Gtk folks. We could look for a different way to present the message list using other widgets, but with a different look. That may have a longer time line than we would want for a 2.5.3 release.
I fully agree with you. IMO, all the effects above are *not* show-stoppers!
- Readme and Install instructionsPatches welcome!
I added some changes to README and AUTHORS (which need review), but these files /should/ now reflect the current status... Is there really any important information in INSTALL which is not in README? If not, we just might replace INSTALL with the standard file coming with the autoconf package.
- anything else? I would still appreciate a consistent coding style, but that can definitely wait until after a new release!OK--it doesn't look like we can find a tool for mass reformatting of the code that would give results that anyone would be satisfied with. We may have bigger issues lurking in some of the older code than format!
Yes, that's of course right! We can keep that in mind, maybe some day a better tool is available... Cheers, Albrecht.
