I have to add that this occurs only when the all of the data displayed by the
dialog are not too long. Especially the cookie content must not be too long in
order for this bug to appear.

If long cookie data are displayed, the window will be large enough and thus not
cut off its content. 

This may not even have to do something with the German translation, but may be a
general bug in this dialog. If so, please re-assign this bug report appropriately.

This bug invalidated itself with 1.4a developmant, as the Cookie dialog has been
reworked in the cookie management rewrite. Thanks for reporting though.

Shouldn't this be fixed for the 1.3 branch as well?

Comment 4

[Robert Kaiser]

It can't be fixed for the Localization only, of course, and I don't think the
Cookie rewrite would be near to landing on the 1.3 branch, drivers only take
low-risk fixes to critical bugs there.
