Tags: upstream Hello Gregor,
please keep in mind that some AddOns do not add only some new functionality but also can change some general settings within Thunderbird. So before sending bug reports it's important that you have checked some things before firing a new bug report. We have collected some steps you should mind within the Wiki. https://wiki.debian.org/Thunderbird#Bug_Reporting_.2F_Issues Am 29.02.20 um 22:47 schrieb Gregor Riepl: ... > After upgrading Thunderbird to version 68.5, the new mail dialogue wraps lines > after 54 characters instead of the commonly used 72. This isn't completely correct from a technical aspect. Thunderbird is still using the default line wrapping on 72 characters. This is easy to check if you send an email to yourself. On the other side your (visible) impression isn't fooling you, it looks like Thunderbird is wrapping lines within plain text mail now not on 72 characters anymore. But it's only a graphical thing and this means it's based somehow on the DPI settings and how Thunderbird is using this. I see this behavior since the first version 68.x I guess. I do workaround around this temporally by adjusting the DPI scaling using the key combination 'Crtl +' or using the 'Crtl' key and the scroll wheel on the mouse. But I agree this isn't nice. > Changing the value of mailnews.wraplength has no effect. This can't get any effect as inside is technically all working correct, as I tried to explain above. > This was not the case with Firefox 68.4. You mean Thunderbird here for sure. > As a workaround, it's possible to set mail.wrap_long_lines and > plain_text.wrap_long_ones to false, but this is undesirable. By this you turn off the line wrapping totally, for plain text (plain_text.x) and HTML (mail.x). The issue you seeing is a upstream problem, it happen too with the provided upstream binaries from Mozilla so it should get reported on the bugzilla tracker of Mozilla. Would you take care of this and create a upstream bug report and provide the URL on this? -- Regards Carsten Schoenert
