            Bug ID: 4082
           Summary: "Edit Accounts" Window Too Small
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: Claws Mail
           Version: 3.17.0
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: UI
          Assignee: users at lists.claws-mail.org
          Reporter: Pk4SVXxdekho at tombstonezero.net

I couldn't figure out how to delete an account, and eventually posted my
problem to the Users mailing list.  As per
https://lists.claws-mail.org/pipermail/users/2018-August/022516.html:

    [In the Edit Accounts Window, ] I see New, Edit, Up, Down, and Close down
the right hand side, and Set As Default, Help, and Close across the bottom. 
The Close button is in the lower right hand corner of the window.

[the attachment shows that window]

Later in that thread, Shai Berger noticed something funny about the window.  As
per https://lists.claws-mail.org/pipermail/users/2018-August/022519.html:

    [...] If I maximize the window, then I see the full complement of buttons
down the right hand side:  New, Edit, Delete, and Copy at the top; and Up,
Down, and Close at the bottom.

    [...] I switched to a HiDPI system about a year ago, and had (and have) to
fiddle with all sorts of things to get an adequate experience [...]

So the bug seems to be that Claws doesn't take the font size and the display's
resolution into account when building the Edit Accounts window.
