Does it slide does it? I just open my mail and there is a bar with the message and a button.

Matt,

It definitely does cause the entire message text pane to slide downward, and the Yellow message ribbon gradually expands to full height. I do run my all monitors in portrait mode to accommodate other special programming, so the message text area is pretty much the size of a sheet of paper. I suspect that if the text area was smaller, the sliding would be less obvious.

The computer is a 3.2 GHz 8 core Xeon with an nVidia GeForce 8800 GT graphics card, so it's a reasonably speedy system.

I'd be happy just to totally disable the yellow warning strip entirely. Is there any way to do that?

No replies in a week. Has anyone else been annoyed by this "feature"?

I'd settle just to turn off the warning message. I'd prefer to keep blocking remote content -- but I don't need to be reminded of it on every single eMail message that comes from a user group like Yahoo.

I was going to try and follow this up for you, but life is just in the way at the moment. I suggest you file a bug in Bugzilla requesting an enhancement to the drawing of the panel. It would be the perfect vehicle re redrawing generally. I am sure that is not the only pane to draw that way.

I agree. That animation is just plain annoying. Mozilla - please get rid of it. Steve

yes, yes,yes

The remote content notification bar drives me nuts:

1. It takes up space in the message pane. 2. I have to deal with it for every single message. 3. Having set the "block all" option, I don't want to be pestered. 4. Surely I should have control of it anyway, on general principle.

Much better would be the option to have a "show remote content" button in the header area or on the toolbar.

Good Thunderbird people, please fix this!
