Macintosh pref dialog is smaller than other platform. Localized contents may not fit to the default size and no way to resize it or scroll the content. It also happens with US build under non US MacOS where the default font is larger. See also bugscape 2142. Change component to preference and reassign to asa@mozilla.org, cc to ben@netscape.com,vishy@netsccpe.com,ftang@netscape.com,jaimejr@netscape.com.

Asa doesn't need this bug. However since it's in bugzilla I'd like to see the pictures, please attach them here.

nav triage team: Marking nsbeta1- because we are logging a new bug to handle pref panels getting cut-off. Our solution is to make the pref window resizeable (on the branch only) and to allow the pref window height and width to be localizeable as opposed to one hardcoded value for all languages.

Paul - The Pref panel is resizable now, right? If so, please mark as nsbranch- for this round.

Marking nsbranch- as it was decided in the August bug triage that we wouldn't have enough time in eMojo to fix this. Let's revisit for MachV.

There are still some prefs panels cut-off in the bottom part or the right hand side part. On 2001-09-06-08-trunk on Japanese MacOS 9, following 3 prefs panels have problem: Appearance | Themes, Debug General, and Offline & Disk Space. Milestone 0.9.4 must be the same. On 2001-10-03-08-trunk on Japanese MacOS 9, following prefs panels have problem: Appearance | Themes, Navigator, Mail & Newsgroups | Message Display, Mail & Newsgroups | Send Format, Privacy & Security | Cookies, Privacy & Security | Master Passwords, Debug General, and Offline & Disk Space. Some are serious, others not so much. In serious case, we can not see all of contens, and we can not know if those we seeing are all or not. Bug 87371 made perfs dialogs localizable. Good. Bug 87373 made prefs dialog resizable on NS branch. Good. But those solve nothing about non-localized trunk on Japanese MacOS. Other non-English testers or users may be seeing this issue. Contents of any prefs panels can be expanded at any time. Also, panels can be added. I don't know the reason why dialog should be fixed-size. I think that expected workaround is making prefs dialogs resizable on trunk also. trash: Sorry about my poor English but I'm poor-educated Japanese.

Mozilla 0.9.5 has this problem on the U.S. version of Mac OS 9.0.4. with all the panels listed above. I don't agree with the comment at bug 87373 that it's desirable to have these dialogs non-resizable in trunk builds. Mozilla needs testing, and the easier it is to use, the more testing it'll get. I'm speaking from personal experience: I'd love to use Mozilla on my Mac at home, but I keep bumping up against things like not being able to edit my cookie preferences, so I often revert to Communicator to get my work done. (NS 6, overall, is far more troublesome than Mozilla, as one would expect, since it's less mature.) In short, fix the layout for sure, but in the meantime, be a little friendlier to those of us who are attempting to help work out (or at least find) the kinks. And if there's no compelling reason to take away user control over dialog sizes in the long run, why do it? Users want control, appreciate it when they have it, and resent it when they don't - and this is as it should be.

2001-11-14-08-trunk or 2001-11-15-08-trunk on Japanese MacOS 9.0.4. There are still some prefs panels cut-off in the bottom part or the right hand side part. In Classic theme, almost fine. But in Modern theme, there are some object cut-off or missing. Some are just missing enclosing line. I took screenshots in both of themes, merged them, and viewed them in parallel. List of problems I found is following: classic : Appearance | Themes - right hand side little bit. Mail & Newsgroups | Message Display - bottom little bit. Privacy & Security | Cookies - bottom little bit. Debug General - bottom little bit. modern: Appearance | Fonts - bottom. Appearance | Themes - right hand side little bit. Navigator - bottom little bit. Navigator | Smart Browsing - bottom little bit. Mail & Newsgroups - bottom little bit. Mail & Newsgroups | Message Display - bottom, missing checkbox!! Mail & Newsgroups | Send Format - bottom little bit. Privacy & Security | Cookies - right hand side and bottom, missing buttons!! Privacy & Security | Master Passwords - bottom, cut-off button. Advanced | Proxies - bottom little bit. Debug General - bottom, missing textbox!! Offline & Disk Space - bottom, nealy missing checkbox and textbox!! When you have display device with 1024 pix or more width and time for loading, check this: http://www2.wbs.ne.jp/%7Echado/work/moz_prefs/prefs_on_mac_trunk.html . note: above document includes two images. Each image has nealy 800k bytes size.

You can change the size by editing the following values in pref.dtd. That is the way we did for N6.2. <!ENTITY prefWindow.size "width: 52em; height: 41em;"> ylong, does the work around fix the problem? if so, Please mark it as workforme.

nsbeta1+ per ADT/Nav triage.

nsbeta1- per ADT triage team. Workaround is to use suggestion in comment #20 for JA localization.

This bug is not about JA build, it's about US build on a JA system. For JA build, we don't have this problem, cause we increased the dialog size overall.
Comment 25•22 years ago

On Mac OS Japanese-9.2, - large system font (menu, caption font) is 12pt(12px) of Osaka or Osaka Bold or Osaka Narrow. - small system font (message-box font) is 10pt(10px) of Osaka. Preferences window size on Mac OS J-9.2 is about 528 x 438px, and is small than on Windows (about 630 x 520px). Workaround using userChrome.css to enlarge Preferences window size as same as on Windows: #prefDialog { font: menu !important; } #prefsTree { font: message-box !important; } or #prefDialog { font: 12px !important; } #prefsTree { font: 10px !important; } But this is not a problem only on Mac OS 9. If you set message-box font to "System 14pt" on Windows NT or 98SE, contents of Preferences window overflow. Workaround in this case using userChrome.css is for example: #prefsTree, page { font: 9.8pt Terminal !important; } Is this a problem that it isn't unified into system fonts and the relative size?
