I actually _have_ read the documentation, and if this question is answered anywhere, I can't find the info ... apologies.Having said that, this may be a stoopid question, but with all releases AFTER balsa-2.4.12-2 (Fedora fc20), the line spacing on the mailbox pane has changed from "single spacing" to "double spacing" - adding significant amounts of white space between the entries on mailbox panel on the screen. This change occurs in the pane displaying the contents of my inbox.However for some reason I can't fathom it occurs RANDOMLY on most of the other mailboxes I have.That is - for instance - I save all my correspondence in a mailbox named "balsa." Sometimes with some releases (since 2.4.12-2) it comes up with double spacing and with single for others. Again, I don't have a clue as to why.I have no idea why the change occurred, and I cannot find a configuration parameter to change to revert to the previous "single spacing". (That's why I have continued to go back to the 2.4.12-2 release over and over and ...).This change is a problem for me because it cuts the number of emails displayed at any time by 50%, and I really prefer the previous spacing which puts more information on the screen at one time. (Yes I can scroll to the end, but if you have a LARGE mailbox with hundreds (thousands?) of emails in it, this is an inconvenience).Is there any way to change the spacing to eliminate all the unnecessary white space between the entries?
I've seen that from time to time. It even mixes single- and double-spacing in a single list, and the spacing may change if I close and reopen a mailbox. There was no change in Balsa's code; that list is a GtkTreeView, and it's been constructed the same way for many years. What *does* change is the Gtk library code, and the good news is that the issue seems to have gone away with recent versions. I'm using 3.14.6, and I don't recall the last time that bug showed up.
There are some other rough edges, like the progress bar at the foot of the window, but that's another story...
Best, Peter
