I'm afraid it will takes ages until a fixed Gtk version is available in all distos, and the effect is really /very/ annoying… The only fix that I know of is to set the GtkTextView margins to zero. You get /almost/ the same visual effect by using GtkWdget margins, which reserve the same space around the text, but it's filled with a different background color; in my setup it's a pale grey instead of white--not a big deal. That change fixes both the no-shrink issue and the button-creep issue in the message window. It also fixes the no-shrink issue in the compose window when GtkSourceView is /not/ being used. For some reason it doesn't solve the problem when GtkSourceView is used--can't figure out why… > Talking about annoying UI effects – since a longer time, the height of the entries in the message tree view /sometimes/ doubles for /some/ messages. Closing and re-opening the respective mailbox overview tab typically fixes it. Anyone else saw the effect? Yes, it's been remarked on a few times on the list. I've tinkered a bit to see if there's an easy fix, and never found one. GtkTreeView rendering is a nightmare! >> It's basically just making noise, but it helps to keep the underlying issue bubbling up in the Gtk issue list--I'd hate to see it scroll to the second (or worse) page! > > Thanks, that's really good! Commenting on the Balsa issue, or the parent Gtk issue, or the merge request all help to keep the issue in front of the Gtk devs!
