Not again! This is usually a XUL box problem.

Is this all dialogs?  [NEED INFO]

Comment 4

[rubydoo123]

it certainly happens with link, and image dialogs I didn't check all 22+ dialog 
boxes, bu these 2 alone make it impossible to use

Putting on [nsbeta2+][dogfood-] radar.  Does not need a fix ASAP for daily work, 
but we should fix this for beta2.

Only dialogs with the "More/Fewer Properties" button should be affected, which
currently is Link and Page Properties. Image dialog should use this, but 
currently modifies "display" attribute instead of "visibility" because of other
problems.
Beth: You see the problem in the Image dialog? I don't.

hmm, so applying links and inserting images is not important? If you use the app 
and need to insert links or images I would think it was important. Currently, 
you access the dialogs, but you can't insert those elements -- that smells like 
dogfood to me.

[dogfood-], hit return.

Comment 9

[rubydoo123]

totally disagree with your assessement, it's apparent that Composer is not being 
used for daily dogfood

checked in.
Simple fix: we should use "visibility: collapsed", not "display: none" when
we want to hide dialog content. The fact that "display: none" isn't working
is really a bug, but I'll file that at some later time, since it should never
be used in XUL anymore.
