I'm using tbird 139, and it has grown vertically to expect the
full screen of 1040 lines, meaning the bottom 2 tect lines that
tbird uses for advirory msgs of attachment showing, are covered by
the pager list and other such things at the bottom of my workspace.
How do I shrink that vertical back a couple text lines so I can
see and click on such as an attached file? Horizontal works, but I
am unable to move it up to where the mouse can grab the lower edge
and move it. So surely there must be a config someplace that is
editable. Using xfce4. Thank you.
Hold down Alt then left-click anywhere on a window. Now you can
move the window anywhere.
Hold down Alt then right-click anywhere on a window. Now you can
resize the window.

Thank you, but none of the above works.
Odd, since it does for me and was something I didn't know about before,
so thanks Darac :)
I just found that menu, and managed to uncheck the "maximize", but its
killed tbird
main screen and all I can see is the edit msg screen. which I assume
will disappear
wgen I send this.
But as there seems to be some doubt as to whether you are actually
using XFCE, here's the technique I used until today and that works with
any DE that I've used.
AIUI, the problem is that your TBird window is too tall and spills off
the bottom of the screen so you can't grab it to shrink it. So what I
do is grab the TOP of the window and move it down, thus shrinking the
height of the window. Then I grab the the title bar and move the top of
the window back up to the top of the screen. I repeat that if necessary
until I can see the bottom of the window on screen. Once I can see it,
I can adjust it however I like.
