271647 - bottom of scroll bar is hidden when tab bar shifts page down

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 285445

(Firefox :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Description

[Michael Newton]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

With no tabs open, I open a Siebel eService application.  The page uses a
frameset, with the bottom frame having a scroll bar, and all is good.  If I then
open a tab, the bottom frame fails to resize.  The bottom of the scrollbar and
the page content is covered by the status bar.  I will attach screenshots, and
make up a testcase shortly.

This may belong in another component?  I figured this was a failure by the
tabbed browsing component to fire an event.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.open a horizontally framed page with no tab bar showing (bottom frame should
have scrollbars)
2.open a new tab

Actual Results:  
the frame fails to resize, cutting off content

Expected Results:  
the frame should resize to make room for the tab bar

Note the scrollbar cut off at the bottom; the last line of data is also
obscured.

I couldn't reproduce it with the site mentioned in bug 269597. Couldn't find any
other dupes either.

Are you using Firefox 1.0 on Windows? If so, you'll see it.

Attachment: filler for the testcase frameset

Attachment: the testcase

The deciding factor here is the frameborder="no" attribute.  Take that away and
it resizes correctly.

i think that something similar happens w/ gmail and the sidebar...

Comment 9

[Michael Newton]

changing summary to once again include the fact that this affects page content
as well as the entire scroll bar arrow

It hides the page content on purpose, since it needs space to put the tab bar.
It just doesn't resize the scrollbar appropriately.
