Are you able to drag the window back to a more normal size? Does the window "remember" the correct size when you close and re-launch it? – Ryan DeBeasi Sep 20 '16 at 14:29

No, When i try to do so, it will again start elongating. For the second question, the problem remains even after restarting of application. – codeezer Sep 22 '16 at 15:57

It just started for me too. It opens, keeps expanding, and nothing can stop it. – Callista Graves Sep 24 '16 at 3:03

Callista Graves, Yeah thats the same I'm experiencing here. So, I uninstalled pantheon-mail and installed geary. – codeezer Sep 26 '16 at 6:54

Same exact issue. Started a thread before I saw your post; this occurred to me after a bit of a delay on Geary/Freya and now with Loki Mail after a week or so of blissful use (I really like the client overall). Noticed that the stretch was much more extreme on Freya... Not sure that's terribly informative.  What sort of box are you running? My Loki install is a new zippy development system, my last machine somewhat less so, but both are Lenovos. Possibly a GTK issue with Lenovo drivers? I don't want t – Chris Sep 28 '16 at 0:46

To fix this issue you need to kill/close pantheon-mail and then run the command
dconf reset -f /org/pantheon/mail/
I believe this is only a temporary solution. If you have Elementary Tweaks installed you can add that command to Cerbere so is constantly running in the back.

This did not work for me. I have to navigate to the dconf-editor and reset all the values to default. It worked after that. – sundar_ima Oct 26 '16 at 17:06

I had the same issue. I replaced the window and resized it first vertically, which really goes slow. (only some pixels a second) When the window had the correct width again, I could resize it easily to the normal height.

Thanks Brent. I'll give it a shot. Did your fix persist on reboot? [UPDATE] Strange... while I was able to resize vertically, horizontal is locked (at the wide width). – bezoris Oct 4 '16 at 16:22

1Try right click in the title bar and use the resize option. I never had this problem again, just once. – Brent Thierens Oct 5 '16 at 16:33
