[Evolution-users] Evolution compose not full screen width

[Rick Stanley]

You miss my point.

When I compose a new message, or reply, etc..., the new window displays
full height, but less than HALF the screen width.  I have to manually
expand the window to FULL WIDTH!

Evolution used to display new message windows FULL SCREEN!

I would like to change whatever setting I need to change to correct
this issue!  I have been unable to locate the setting that needs to be
changed!

This is an issue with Evolution, as I have had no other issues with any
other application.  I should NOT have to downgrade Evolution.  That is
not the way to correct a problem or bug.

Thank you!

Rick
